So excited that my most recent article, “‘Gender Critical’ Discourse as Disinformation: Unpacking TERF Strategies of Political Communication,” is now out in Women's Studies in Communication! tandfonline.com/eprint/YAME5PH… /1

If trans people did have the power to brainwash people, why would we brainwash them to be trans? We'd all just make them do something useful like donate to our surgery funds or make New Vegas 2 or something.

Incredible new article in the prestigious journal Pediatrics, a top medical journal, finds legislative attacks on gender affirming care "is harmful to children and amounts to state-sanctioned medical neglect and emotional abuse," and that gender affirming care saves lives. (!!!)

In addition to my article now being published, I have to fangirl for a sec about being in the same issue as and listed right next to Florence fucking Ashley. Thank you @ButNotTheCity for being such a badass this budding trans academic can look up to.
