This week's QueerAF is made possible by Christian Schulz-Quach, MD, MSc, MA, MRCPsych, MDPAC(C). He supported our crowdfunder as a 'newsletter champion' directly funding ten issues of the newsletter and will be named as an honorary editor of QueerAF for all those issues. Thank you, Christian.
Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives. This week QueerAF is written by Rowan Gavin, with a Queer Gaze from the archive by Alice Wilson.
💬 This week:
- The Sullivan Review: The government’s new report on collecting data about sex and gender was started by the Tories and led by a Professor from the Sex Matters advisory board. We dig into the Review’s biases and its potential implications.
- Hungary: Days after we reported on the landmark ruling against the country that set a precedent for trans rights across Europe, Hungary’s parliament passed a ban on Pride events. We look at the reaction.
- Queer Spaces: Lots of us need spaces to feel safe right now - in that spirit, we’ve gone back to the Queer Gaze archive to reprint Alice Wilson’s nourishing account of the power of queer spaces.
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
The Sullivan Review into sex and gender research is a ‘gender critical’ farce
TL;DR: A new Review of public data collection and research has been published. It was commissioned by the previous Conservative government and led by a prominent ‘gender critical’ academic, and could impact the way all public services collect information on sex and gender.
