Many TIGERS & other colleagues were very concerned about events last week at the Advance HE Gender in HE Conference 2022, where a debate pertinent to trans rights was scheduled, with no trans representation. TIGERS are hosting a letter to Advance HE: tigerinstemm.org/news/letter…
Looks great: Eleanor Townsend will discuss her ongoing progress to improve LGBTQ+ inclusion in the medical school curriculum at the University of Exeter, and Kieran Loft will give a tour of the eye and share their experiences as a queer person in the field of ophthalmology!!
Our next event is on Wednesday 18th November for LGBTQ+ STEM day. We're hearing from Eleanor Townsend & Kieran Loft. In person (Exeter Library) and online. Get your ticket here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/prism-spe…

➡️ I mean what I say in my interview. Engineering needs more people. Full stop.
And whilst we’re at it, we need a greater diversity pulling from more experiences and perspectives to solve today’s mega issues.

We grabbed Rooke Award winner @markmcbw at our #RAEngAwards dinner to hear why its so important to promote an inclusive engineering profession.

To mark the end of Pride Month, here is a short thread to celebrate some trans scientists and their amazing contributions. These are great scientists, and great people who have risen above transphobia to succeed - that's worth celebrating.

If you are a member of the HE community who supports trans-inclusion, then please consider reading and signing this letter to Advance HE, as I have.
We're really excited to see that >250 people have signed this letter, expressing our commitment to maintain & increase support for trans colleagues, and calling on Advance HE to do likewise. We'd really like to see this amplified widely, beyond the STEM community. Can you help?

Worrying slide in HE detailed here.
Anti-trans rhetoric is built on misinformation & exploitative scaremongering. It's transphobia by definition, feeds growing trend to frame trans ID as pathological, a social problem; trans people as "a virus". Just like being gay was.
