PhD candidate at @UWEvansSchool studying admin burden, bureaucratic discretion and trans people's interactions with the state. @VeraInstitute alum. #LetsgoMets
Hello twitter! I'm finally dissertating! I'm examining the experiences trans and nonbinary folks have when contemplating applying for/applying for SNAP, Medicaid, and Unemployment. My goal is to survey 1000 ppl. Please share with your networks/friends.
An Initiative-funded project, led by @IsaacSederbaum of @uwevansschool, is studying the psychological costs of citizen-state interactions for transgender people: https://t.co/SoCVFCN6TM #PopulationHealth
So my survey got attacked by some bots, and now I've lost 50% of my data. Please help me get to 1,000 real humans who actually meet my survey criteria? This sad PhD candidate thanks you in advance.
Congrats to IRP 2023–24 National Dissertation Awardee @IsaacSederbaum of @uwevansschool! His dissertation project is “The Costs of Being Trans: Administrative Burden, Citizen-State Interactions, and the Welfare of Transgender People in the US.” We're pleased to support this work!
@DrSebastianBarr The last time I visited my mom I came back from a run and her boyfriend was like, "wow you eat a lot" and I was like, "you mean I eat lunch?"
Dearest, most beloved, cis friends and allies: I saw the news. I read the tweets. I don’t want to talk about this explosion of anti-trans legislation any more. What I want is to listen while you tell me what action you’re taking to stop it, and then I want to go get ice cream.
Maybe I'm just looking for someone to blame, but I feel seething rage bubbling up for the so-called allies whose ~just asking questions~ approaches helped launch this bs into the mainstream & gave the right wing baseless but easy quotations/citations. Y'all are complicit.
Sadly the alarm bells just keep ringing. The MO emergency rule is setting up a dangerous precedent, especially if it goes before a bench that believe that being trans is inherently fraudulent.
@badinfinity2 someone told me I should probably stop being so pettty and I'm like if you think this is me being petty then buckle up because you're in for a real treat.
Just want to call attention to a specific language choice: “how quickly to transition children.” The phrasing of “transitioning” as being an action done TO someone, as opposed to an action someone does with agency (“he transitioned,” “I am transitioning”), is intentional.
A thread on the eliminationist anti-trans rhetoric of CPAC — including Michael Knowles calling for trans people to be “eradicated from public life entirely” — & why it’s a five-alarm fire.
I will amend this rant by saying, thank the Lord for @donmoyn who has been vocally pro trans people and rightly pointing out that mf'ers like Michael Knowles and Matt Walsh are here to sew chaos and ruin democracy in addition to calling for the genocide of trans ppl
Remember like a year ago when I was ranting about how thing were going to turn violent? Yes, the Daily Wire is Right Wing Propaganda, but where is our field in calling any of this out?
In another chilling rant about the 1.6 million trans Americans, Daily Wire host Michael Knowles says that "there can't be a genocide" of trans people because "It's not a legitimate category of being... They're laboring under a delusion. And so we need to correct that delusion."
