"I'm a GAMP, and it's not a writer's cramp that makes me wanna be amp about it—I'm a straight champ who don't need a Virgin Mary bigot or a lick-spigot vamp to question my mastodon feed, or my literary, noumenon handstamp."—Max R. J. Ovbi
Iowa Senate File 538- gender transition procedures related to minors strips providers of Medicaid funding from Sept 18 forward and doesn't allow Medicaid to be used by clients for gender affirming treatment. If a counselor has a transgender client, and has used the gender dysphoria code and many others (7 pages of ICD codes) then they will be retroactively stripped of funding. I am so angry for clients and for providers. As a clinician, I feel so mad that states are telling transgender youth in lower SES that they can't be who they truly are, and now they can't even talk to a counselor. I just can't. @socialwork@Email2TootBot#SocialWork#psych#psychology#iowa#lgbtqia#transgender#transgenderrights#counseling#counselor#therapist#therapy
"The main and interesting conclusion in the abstract is that of the 45% of alumni not continuing in academic research, one third does industry research and one third is in a science-related profession."
It is the most comprehensive volume to date, engaging with the intersections between gender and affect studies. A global and interdisciplinary range of contributors articulate the connections (and disconnections) between gender, sexuality, and affect in a range of geographical and historical contexts.
Excellent article by Luba Kassova on
gender imbalance & bias in AI.
"From analysing data and conversations with experts, I realise that, whether as developers, news editors or AI experts, women are largely absent from the AI world."
The New Science of Sex and Gender by the Scientific American Editors
Vital research is starting to challenge long-standing assumptions about gender identity and biological sex, such as work that indicates the brain is a "mosaic" of traits rather than a "male" and "female" brain.
Great news that the radical feminist/queer journal 'Urania,' in circulation between 1916 and 1940, has now been digitised by LSE Library. Still, going to read the original copies earlier this year was a wonderful, if somewhat dizzying, research experience . . . 📚 😵

In my research to help form a coherent story for a #mesoamerica web series, #gender and #lgbtq is one of the biggest hurdles because #history and modern perspectives just don't match.
If I took Sigal's interpretation in the #book "the flower and scorpion", if someone asks me if there are LGBT characters I don't really have an answer as they did not call themselves straight, gay, or bisexual no matter who they had sex with. They did have a word for trans though.
If I took interpretations that did share modern ideas of #gender and #LGBTQ which show up the most in pop #history that opens new problems. These usually apply Christian views onto Nahua culture, completely replacing with the personal views of who is usually a Spanish priest.
This creates even more problems, as these interpretations often apply negative views onto gods and some even try to link some goddesses with the Christian Satan or succubi. Blatant misogyny.
"The process of nation building cannot be limited to only expanding working hours, but it has to focus on improving work conditions and pushing for norms that are inclusive and not blind to socio-cultural realities of contexts."
"... to be able to work 70 hours a week, can be a privilege and is reserved for a particular population who does not have to face the realities of a gendered life with defined roles or the pressures of socio-cultural norms. To assume that ‘work’ is only in an office, further assumes that “working life” is limited to hours recorded in an office timesheet, and which does not recognise the other forms of ‘productive’ work that women have to perform daily..."
New research provides insight into parental-child estrangement in the U.S., describes differences by gender, race/ethnicity, and sexuality, and discusses implications. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/37304343
"By combining innovative methods in economic history with an economic approach, Goldin has demonstrated that several different factors have historically influenced – and still influence – the supply of and demand for female labour. ... To achieve these insights, Goldin looked back over two hundred years."

@iwashyna@bookstodon Finally my public library had After Sappho on the shelf! #AmReading these smart and beautifully written, challenging, and inter-related 'cascading vignettes' of #women's lives. 'Tho things have changed on the surface, we all need to pay attention to the genitive. The masculine continues as "the patron and the possessor and the proprietor and the patriarch" in too many women's lives.
