These are people who don't care about our trans siblings. ESPECIALLY trans women.

Cambridge professor of sociology Jason Arday is accused of plagiarism by another academic

the accuser is a "race realist" who believes that in a true meritocracy all university professors would be white. this is somehow not acknowledged much during the entire ordeal

this leads to several days of media coverage demanding an investigation, or that Arday is expelled from his post immediately

somehow this accusation that has no effect on the lives of 99.99% of the population becomes FRONT PAGE NEWS in all the newspapers for multiple days, above anything else happening in the UK or the world at large

following intense media scrutiny, Arday resigns his post as a Cambridge professor

today, august 14th, days after resigning, Arday is found dead at his home in Battersea

This article by professor Kehinde Andrews clarifies more about the story of racist harassment Arday has been suffering since he fucking got a teaching job at Cambridge in the first place, in 2023, as the FIRST Black professor in that fucking stupid institution, who sure is taking it's sweet time defending their worker, despite already fucking checking his work for plagiarism and saying he didn't do it:

1. He wasn’t the first Black Professor at Cambridge, but he WAS the youngest X

2. He was ALSO autistic, and nonverbal for the first 11 years of his life X

-- There is never a good reason to mock someone's gender identity and/or pronouns! Criticize people on their actions, not their identity.

-- "Transfeminism" encapsulates the issues of all trans people, as studied through a feminist lens. There is no way to exclude a whole group of trans people from transfeminism without being transphobic. Anyone who tells you transfeminism is exclusive to one type of trans person is lying to you and possibly themselves.

-- Trans people speaking about their bodies and how those bodies are affected under a patriarchal system are never misgendering themselves.

-- Body parts =/= gender! That's bioessentialism and will always be transphobic and intersexist.

-- No gender identity can be reduced down to one stereotype or one personality type. That's gender essentialism, which will never not be transphobic (and misogynistic, while we're at it).

-- Don't take people who weaponize transphobia against people they don't like as authorities on transfeminism. There is no amount of bad behavior that deserves to be met with transphobia.
