I'm in Brighton today to deliver the keynote at the Box Breakers conference organised by @ctsgbrighton.bsky.social The lineup of presenters LOOKS AMAZING and it's also the first outing for new ideas from #RainbowTrap. Equal parts nervous and excited! 🌈 #LGBTQ #queer #book #newbook

A slide from a talk that reads: Rainbow Trap. A requirement to be classified, as a condition of being included, catches LGBTQ communities in a rainbow trap. With the image of Kevin Guyan's new book, Rainbow Trap.

Still time to submit your proposal for our @ctsgbrighton.bsky.social scholarship for a PhD project on trans / NB inclusion & wellbeing (w me supervising). The application isn't huge, so even if you've not started yet it's not too late 👍

Literally cannot wait to share this ✨new publication✨ with y’all. doi.org/10.1016/j.bo... Tl;dr. White working-class women’s body image is rooted in appearance norms, rather than appearance ideals (they are conceptually different). Super important to consider intersectionality of class x gender
