It is misguided to denigrate ideology in “science” or research. In social science research, almost always we are guided by values. Values (self, societal) often guide variable selection & research questions (eg professional treatment guidelines).

I am also skeptical of “evidence-based policy.” The idea is often predicated on indifference to the reality that the production and use of evidence is endogenous to political processes. Evidence is important. But it is fundamentally political. So, whether & how it gets used is a matter of power.

This connects to my concern over valuing “impact.” I value impact, too — yes. But unfortunately there are now incentives to get broad attention & to contribute to polarized discourse in a way that is provocative We need scholars & thinkers to be motivated by the pursuit of knowledge, not fame

I’m concerned about the role of social media in creating an incentive for grifters to leverage a veneer of legitimacy We see it all over, including the mental health services space Very defensive clinicians strategically diminishing survivors. I hope someone is researching this dynamic

Thank you, St. John’s, for organizing a beautiful prayer vigil for Trans Day of Remembrance. We remember all trans people who died and were murdered this year. I send love to all people who experience rejection and violence on the basis of how they present in the world. #tdor #lgbtq

This is a prayer alter for trans people who died in 2024. Pictures, names, and brief bios are shown on a board behind pink, white, and blue candles.

Sending out a prayer to all trans people who lost their lives. I’m upset that trans people have been both politically weaponized & scapegoated. Praying that all trans people have loving community in their lives.

TW: death, transphobia Thinking of all the trans people let down by mental health services this Trans Day of Remembrance. Suicide and homicide rates are devastatingly high for #trans people, especially autistic trans folk. Mental health services have contributed by pathologising, not affirming🏳️‍⚧️.

This image shows five candles in the colours of the transgender pride flag (blue, pink, and white) against a black background, likely representing remembrance or solidarity, particularly in the context of Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Dr.Oz and RFK are going to force a lot of people to spend a lot of time defending an existing healthcare infrastructure that we all know is broken. But pulling the rug out from people who rely on Medicare and Medicaid is not the answer. The answer is improved Medicare for all. #M4A

Everything @viscidula.bsky.social says here, yes! Wake up, please. There is something deeply out of sync when I see a simultaneous push for researching “equity” and “justice” but also only when fixed within a completely unjust, harmful, discriminatory system and culture

And this pervasive cognitive dissonance — that we constantly invoke values we disregard in practice, is perhaps one of the most harmful “accomplishments” of the contemporary era (at least in the U.S.). 5/x

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1
