Fucking christ. The call is coming from inside the house UK academics! Too many of you don't give a shit about transphobia, giving oxygen and space to these utter charlatans, who are then duly rewarded by our disgusting establishment. Take your NY celebrations & shove them. https://twitter.com/pencechp/status/1344588586465824769
Being a keyboard warrior isn't enough, & I'll continue looking for ways to do more in & around HE to make it a better place for queer people. But I also hope these statements show transphobes, even polite clever ones, they aren't welcome anywhere near where I work. At all. Zero.
Today is one of those days I am glad not to have @lastpositivist 's audience. A selection of the super interesting and not at all tragic responses his tweet got. Good on Liam for stating things plainly. Doing better work for philosophy than most of the senior folks put together.
And of course. Of course. Please keep this guy out my timeline folks. He isn't welcome in any form other than screen grabs.
As Warburton has consistently platformed philosophers with trans exclusionary views, I am making him part of the social media firewall I have around myself. I'll be ceasing to follow anyone still following him by end of Monday. That's about 140 of you.
As ever, this is about digital connections, so don't take it personally. And if you wonder why I've stopped following you, it is because this is a concrete step that any of us can take towards keeping transphobia out of the mainstream. Don't waste your interest. Spend it well.
You can follow @HPSGlonk.
