🧵 Every year, an international survey, of how LGBTQ ppl are treated in Europe, is carried out. This year, the UK has been marked out as the least tolerant country in NW Europe [ranked 22nd]. Significantly less tolerant than Ireland [14th], France [15th] or Germany[18th] [1]

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

I’ve signed this letter. If you teach at a UK uni you come into contact with many trans students; they’re no different, apart from the higher barriers to inclusion they face. If you teach queer history, you know that gender diversity is a simple fact. We have to resist this harmful moral panic.
