Having these resources from inclusivefieldwork.leeds.ac.uk/trans printed physically really emphasises how much has gone into them!

One of the biggest obstacles to trans inclusivity in fieldwork is uncertainty. Here's a video of me talking about it but you can also read about it at inclusivefieldwork.leeds.ac.uk

A cool side effect of having written these resources as a freelancer is that they all get to have my personal logo on them 🥰

If you want a six minute summary of how to support trans+ fieldworkers, then why not check out this video we made (voiced by the incredible @izzyvalkyrie.bsky.social)?

We're publishing new guidance to support trans people who do fieldwork (any work outside the office)! Now we need your help to get them seen so please share! inclusivefieldwork.leeds.ac.uk/trans/

This combination at the top of my feed is incredible. Thank you to @themerl.bsky.social and @samreich.bsky.social for some perfectly timed posts

I made something cool because I wanted to see what would happen (and also to sell to fund my transition). These pins are printed as CYMK stripes behind a ridged lenticular surface so you see either cyan, yellow, or magenta, depending on the angle. But, if you see with 2 eyes, you get 2 angles...

First new video in a while is up now on my tiktok and insta. It's probably not worth heading over there to check out but I do kinda like this selfie I took for the thumbnail

Not since our 'Just Transition Taskforce' has my work inbox given me such misleading subject lines

Dear colleague,

Welcome is one of the most important stages in a student's journey.

If you're wondering why the pins at the bottom look weird, it's because the flag changes depending on the angle you view it from. I also make pronoun pins like this! Available at canopyrobin.etsy.com

Robin Hayward 🌳 🏳️‍⚧️ @canopyrobin.com · 06/08/2026

Thank you 🥰 I get so many requests for an 'ally' badge and I always refuse. These are about as close as I ever get and I think they make my stance pretty clear 😁

Trans flag badges that say "real allies take action" and "ask me about allyship"

If you'd like to directly help a trans person (me) pay for her transition while buying a pride or pronoun badge, this is your frequent reminder that I'm selling all of these designs at canopyrobin.etsy.com to afford gender affirming care 🏳️‍⚧️

Robin, next to over 150 different pride pin designs. Please forgive me for not describing all of them. Theyre mostly nature themed. There are plants and frogs and birds and stuff.

They come in pink now 😍 so tempted to get my little one a friend (I absolutely cannot afford to do that but I highly recommend them for others)

Selfies are good, right? Should I post more selfies?

Just realised it's graduation season so I should probably share these cool pins I make again. They make great gifts and help to fund my transition canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/1841...

This month I got 3.3% closer to my transition fundraising goal. If I manage the same in July, I could be 20% of the way there!!

Ah! For clarity, this is what lives inside the bag 😅 It just makes it easier to carry in the field (or on trains)

Catching the train to work and I think this is as close as I'll ever get to commuting with a briefcase and the morning paper (bonus points if you can tell me what the paper is for)

Transition fundraising actually went backwards last month because I miscalculated what my tax would be. Hopefully I'll catch up again soon!

Having an absolute nightmare of a day. My new pin I was releasing for #Pride has a misprint. If you still want one that I've corrected with sharpie, they're available at canopyrobin.etsy.com but oh my god I've just lost so much money from my transition fund 😫

Also, remember that time when @zackpolanski.bsky.social befriended the dog at a queer awards ceremony while wearing the LGBT+ History Month badge I designed? More of this vibe in politics please!

Last night was so lovely! I got to see loads of queer STEM folks who I've not seen in ages, or who I've known online for years, or who I met for the first time last night, plus I got a fancy award 🥰

Transition fundraising progress! I'm going to start updating this tracker with monthly posts so you can see how things are adding up. It's a long haul but the goal is to make 100% by 2030!

Of course, always happy to help where I can. I hope they're okay. It's so tough as a child. This is still probably my best quick summary of advice for hayfever but I'm happy to expand and chat about other stuff if it helps.

Temporarily increasing my dispatch times on canopyrobin.etsy.com because life is too stressful right now and this is the easiest change I can make immediately. Please keep buying and sharing them though because transition costs are also stress... they might just take a couple extra days to arrive

I made this progress bar to track my transition fundraising from pin sales, donations, and any other personal savings I can make. I've set it ambitiously for my expected 'lifetime' costs so I'm not expecting to fill it anytime soon but that 100% will be so sweet when I get there! 🏳️‍⚧️
