It’s a bit irritating that now everyone is “concerned” about foreign scientists facing visa issues but no one anywhere across the political spectrum spent half a dime of their political capital with the spousal issue before this crisis.

In 1974, Cornell lecturer Lin Farley began recognizing a pattern in the experiences women shared in her Women and Work course: women were being pushed out of jobs by men’s sexual behavior. Farley coined the term, “sexual harassment.”

Harper’s temperance poems are great to teach! (And her poems on sexual violence critiquing racialized double standards).

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

This is bone-chilling. A conservative hedge fund manager wants to require little girls to pass genital inspections for their “safety.” And it’s only for girls’ sports. There’s a clear link between transphobia and child sexual abuse.

It’s you who sound mad sir. I’m just articulating—in the true sense of that term—the painstaking layers of research, imagination, and writing—that good historians like Cleves do.

“Our Holy Mother of knowledge” is grandly vague: sweeps over the historian’s painstaking research, imaginative work, and writing. She’s not a magical fount of knowledge.

This is such a good book, underlining like mad. (I grew up white in Minneapolis ten years before Ellis, this resonates with all the white unsaid).

Understated consequence of this: how can you convince your hospital board that it must keep offering trans youth care if one of the leftmost politicians in America set his new clinic at 19 and over? It sets a horrible precedent.

1) countless trans kids are going to needlessly suffer because of this. 2) 18 year olds are ADULTS – so your conceding (as Trump admin hoped by setting 19 at age) that restricting care for trans adults is fine. 3) this goes against the recommendations of most medical professional organizations...
