THREE THINGS CIS PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE:

  1. We aren't rare. There are twice as many of us as there are police officers in America.

  2. We aren't new. There are historical examples of us in every society, in every nation, on every continent on earth, since the beginning of recorded history.

  3. We aren't going away. In 1933, one of the first things the Nazi party did after seizing power, was burn down the Institut für Sexualwissinschaft, the largest repository in the world of trans histories and trans academic research. So if you've ever thought trans people are rare or new, blame a Nazi.

@LadyDragonfly "There are twice as many of us as there are police officers in America" sounds like the best kind of veiled threat.

I love the organization of the reading list in this syllabus. So creative and engaging.

To share with friends who moved from to :

" acknowledged…to The Washington Post that Threads is intentionally blocking the search terms ["covid" and "long covid"] and said that other terms are being blocked, but the company declined to provide a list of them. A search by The Post discovered that the words…“coronavirus,” “vaccines” and “vaccination” are also among blocked words."

@petersuber do you think there's a fair case to be made (as they seem to be) to delay including terms that are likely to bring harmful results? There seems to be some face validity to the concern, at least. Whether that's the real reason and whether it's better to roll out partially or just wait until kinks are worked out are other questions.

@edutooters
I think a major failing of and tension in teacher preparation programs in the US is that we expect and demand that aspiring teachers meet the need of individual students, especially those with disabilities and whose first language isn't English. Yet we as a teacher preparation community push these same students out disproportionately.
For example, about 16-17% of students in schools have a documented disability, but fewer than 5% of teachers have a documented disability.

@ZingerLearns @edutooters probably at least 2 different processes in that difference: (1) disabled learners select out of teaching as a possible career and (2) those who don't select out feel pressure to pass and conform, so they don't document/share their disabilities. It's much riskier to out yourself to a potential employer than to a school, even if both are required in principle to treat you fairly.

@ZingerLearns @edutooters I don't disagree but I'm not an expert in teacher training. Where do you think the gaps are? Presumably as students, teachers in training should be eligible for disability accommodations. Is it differences in what consitutes a fair accommodation, lack of communication/assistance, specific things like student teaching, or what?

If the electorate looked like the population, the midterms would have gone even worse for the Republicans than they did. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/05/03/electorate-population-black-voters-2022/

@pbump the choice to use "age" and not "generations" in this Toot about a book with "baby boom" in the title has me wondering about the balance of lifecourse vs. cohort logic in the book. TOC alone isn't enough to really tell.

Qualitative research epistemologies keep popping up today for some reason. First this nuanced critique of #openscience ties to #postpositivism, then discovering a positivist-leaning checklist for #qualitative research reporting. I don't expect I'll ever be a critical realist or anything, but I appreciate #reflexivity more over time. https://markrubin.substack.com/p/opening-up-open-science-to-epistemic?r=2bqjb7 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17872937/

For all that seems like a specialized corner of academia, I end up teaching on a wide swath from coding and to high-performance computing. Yesterday it was in - today the pendulum swings and I'm teaching with . At least it keeps my from turning into boredom though.
