Our commentary piece on “Misuse of evidence in sex and gender policy” is out! We call for greater integrity and transparency in evidence use, and for meaningful inclusion of trans people’s experiences and expertise in policymaking utppublishing.com/doi/10.3138/...

Graphic with a white background that presents information about a commentary piece published in the International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics. It includes the title (“Misuse of evidence in sex and gender policy”), authors, abstract and keywords.

- Authors: Tomás Ojeda, Madeleine Pape, D.M. Grijseels, Eric Llaveria Caselles, Sheree Bekker, Jean-Sébastien Blanc, Dinah Bons, Guylaine Demers, Tara Gonsalves, Sarah Lamble, Ruth Pearce, and Valo Vähäpassi.

- Abstract: Sex and gender policy has become a battleground for attacks on science and expertise. As researchers committed to rigorous evaluation of evidence, the authors examine how evidence is used and misused in debates on sex and gender policy affecting transgender people. Drawing on examples from healthcare, prison housing, and sport, they identify recurring pitfalls: elevating opinion as evidence, excluding trans expertise, discrediting scientific consensus, deploying decontextualized claims, and the influence of scientific disinformation. Amid rising societal transphobia, the authors call for greater integrity and transparency in evidence use, and for meaningful inclusion of trans people’s experiences and expertise in policymaking.

- Keywords: Evidence; Transgender People; Policy; Expertise; Gender-Affirming Care; Prison Housing; Sport.

This looks awesome! A data viz course from the authors of Data Feminism, @laurenfklein.bsky.social and @kanarinka.bsky.social. So excited to teach with these materials! openvisualizationacademy.org/courses/data...

A screenshot of one of the course pages from the Data Feminism for Data Visualization course. The text reads: "Course:
Data Feminism for Data Visualization
Authors:
Lauren Klein
Catherine D'Ignazio

To get a certificate of completion, sign in to track your progress

Content updated in October 2025

This course draws from the award-winning book Data Feminism (MIT Press, 2020), challenging students to consider how examining questions of gender, power, and justice can transform the way we visualize data. Drawing from the rich history of feminist activism and critical thought, we will learn to recognize and counter biases in conventional visualization practices while developing skills to create more ethical, inclusive, and socially responsible visualizations of our own. The course brings real-world examples of data visualization in conversation with theoretical frameworks that question whose perspectives are included (or not) in data science and data communication, illustrating the need for approaches that employ visualization to amplify minoritized perspectives and draw attention to issues of equity and justice.

Carceral border policies are also fundamentally incompatible with reproductive justice. They are shaped by anxieties about who can reproduce the country "properly" AND prevent some people from accessing the resources they need for genuine reproductive autonomy.
