- Rereading @susanstryker.bsky.social ‘s Words to Victor Frankenstein and this excerpt of a letter in a 1986 Gay/Lesbian rag, I’m struck by how unchanged the emotional bedrock of gender critical ‘feminism’ remains. The rhetoric of threat (to women; to lesbians) is a thin pretext for disgusted affront
- This is a welcome move from Sussex University. OfS massively overstepped its role here; what’s more, the 3-year ‘enquiry’ spoke to no students, staff, or management at Sussex. Clearly, it was the OfS fine that was designed to have the chilling effect www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

- Reposted by Sage Brice (she/her)📣 Today @felicitycallard.bsky.social and I have published the first peer-reviewed response to the 'Sullivan Review' of research and data on sex and gender. doi.org/10.1111/tran... The Review could threaten trans rights and inclusion, erode academic freedom, and undermine research quality.

- Strange to speaking of those times as the good old days…
- Reminder, this is an example of the BBC's own words in 2019, before they took a landslide into transphobic rhetoric: "Other common transphobic themes of online posts included misgendering people - purposefully labelling somebody as a gender that they do not identify as." bbc.co.uk/news/technol...
- Reflecting back on research trip with Holly Argent to Blast Beach. We listened to fulmars and with scores inspired by Pauline Oliveros. Later I recalled this poem, by Kathleen Jamie (full text in alt)
- It’s always a joy to see my art being a part of people’s homes and lives. With international wetland day just round the corner, this photo of ‘Wild narcissi’ from Annie Lee is timely If you have my artwork on your walls, do send me a photo to brighten my day!

Outrageous.
- Well that’s me locked out. No pay for the foreseeable future, all because I refuse to reschedule lost teaching, for which I have already lost pay as part of the strike. Please donate to support @sheffielducu.bsky.social members like me at www.gofundme.com/f/heubvb-sup...

- Reposted by Sage Brice (she/her)The ferocity with which the vile phrase “a biological male who identifies as a woman” is being embedded across multiple media in Britain is horrifying. It shows how quickly support for eliminationist attacks against trans and gender diverse people is being solidified
- Reposted by Sage Brice (she/her)FOI reveals that within the first week in office, Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson requested a meeting with Sex Matters to discuss "mutual priorities and ways to work together going forward"
- Enjoying the book? Why not ask your library/university/school to acquire a copy? The easiest way to order is via sagebriceprints.co.uk
- There’s plenty of extra content to be found in the image notes, and in the pregnant space between these, the drawings themselves, and the main text. For example, this behavioural diagram of wolves expands on a discussion of competition, cooperation, and ‘natural values’ (Image note in alt text)

- Reposted by Sage Brice (she/her)Useful reporting from Translucent. When we’ve suggested that trans women don’t pose a risk, people have argued that’s because of under reporting. These FOI requests suggest that might not be the case www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/01/almo...

- A frequent reaction to queer-trans animality that I touch on in this piece is the charge of anthropomorphism. Strategic anthropomorphism has many advantages, one of which is to show how misuse of cishet norms & constructs distorts science (courtship, anyone?) doi.org/10.1080/0966369X.2025.2504375

- Reposted by Sage Brice (she/her)We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions. It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

- Reposted by Sage Brice (she/her)I feel like the last couple decades of "is representation good or not?" discourse missed more important questions of "how fragile is representation?", "what do we do when multiple industries eliminate it as an intentional move against us?" and "how can we sustain queer artists when shit goes south?"
