This month I got 3.3% closer to my transition fundraising goal. If I manage the same in July, I could be 20% of the way there!!

Can't believe it'll have been two years soon! I'd love to reach 20% of my fundraising goal by then 🏳️‍⚧️ canopyrobin.etsy.com

Today is Intersex Awareness Day. I am intersex – and did not find out until I was 26! Intersex people are also impacted by the decision in FWS, but this is much less talked about. Intersex people continue to be subjected to non-consensual medical interventions. Intersex rights are human rights.

Gair Wood has its first writer in residence! Welcome and congratulations to Dr J.R. Carpenter!

We believe that the public has the right to know the consequences of this policy change. So if NHS England won’t publish the full assessment, we will. transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/10...

I'm the stage of ill where I've just paid Morrisons to bring me orange juice and soup sometime within the next 60 minutes. I hope it saves me

Sent a bold email today and now have too much adrenaline to work. Gonna take a quick walk in the autumn sunshine and hopefully destress

The University of Leeds have requested the following clarification be added to our trans-inclusive fieldwork guidance. I hope this clears up any misunderstandings.

Apparently even my pins know that trans researchers in airports could use a little backup!

I’ve been thinking about a study I read a year or two ago - I forget where I saw it - finding that even when women do get into leadership positions their teams and their work get systematically under-resourced. I cannot tell you why I am thinking about this, but I am.

The UK at the moment is a perfect example of what happens when you uncritically support and vote for a party all under the guise of “vote now, push them later”. And if you don’t understand that, you have no reason or right to scold others for their feelings around voting for their oppressors.

So many people buried their heads in the sand this week saying that NHS segregation of trans people was "for their safety". But even internal NHS assessments say it will cause direct harm. Sex is not binary and trans people need respectful care based on actual physiology, not anti-trans slogans.

Hard to believe this new guidance to support trans fieldworkers has been seen over half a million times and is now being used by people, universities, NGOs, societies, and businesses all over the world. Thanks to everyone who has already shared it. Please keep telling people about this! 🏳️‍⚧️🌍🧪

It felt like time for a new profile picture

Absolutely sickening.

Recovery in logged forests may be much slower than previously assumed! Despite common expectations that logged tropical forests absorb large amounts of carbon as trees regrow, new research led by @amybenno.bsky.social suggests this may not be the case for some. leaf.leeds.ac.uk/news/no-carb... 🌏🧪

We're publishing new guidance to support trans people who do fieldwork (any work outside the office)! Now we need your help to get them seen so please share! inclusivefieldwork.leeds.ac.uk/trans/

One final push to get people to see and understand our new guidelines for trans inclusion. Every comment, like, and share really helps get these out there. inclusivefieldwork.leeds.ac.uk/trans 🏳️‍⚧️

I need your help to help trans people. Please share this around and add your voice 🏳️‍⚧️

Very tempted to make a whole series about ways that well-meaning allies get it wrong and can be part of the problem. I wonder how it would be received...

I've just become aware of this fantastic resource created at my institution to support inclusive fieldwork. Please share.

Here's a whole thread about our trans inclusive guidance, including the website, a professional pdf you can print, cite, and share directly, and a professional animated guidance video. Please help me share the work at inclusivefieldwork.leeds.ac.uk/trans

Want to be hopeful and enjoy life, but most 'positivity content' makes you want to come out in hives? Same. A few tips for staying positive/hopeful without feeling gross: -Acknowledge how fucking hard it is to find joy while the world is on fire,

-Stop being horrible to yourself. If you had someone following you around all day telling you you were an asshole, you'd probably struggle to enjoy your life. If that person is you, it's even worse, because you can't get away from them.

Let yourself feel it all and try not to judge any of it. You'll be surprised at how much joy creeps in alongside it all when you make more space. -Enjoy absurdity. Being a weird little gremlin and laughing at dumb shit will improve your life immensely.

Helping spread the word about these brilliant guidelines that @canopyrobin.com and others have put together specifically for trans+ people (anywhere in the world) who do #fieldwork. Please do share in any networks you’re part of where this might be relevant 🤓🏳️‍⚧️🤓 inclusivefieldwork.leeds.ac.uk/trans/

I love how one of the most common comments on this video across platforms (outside the obvious subject) is people saying how cool @roseschmits.bsky.social's pottery is.

Thought I'd share this for any trans person (or ally!) that might need some extra guidance and support for doing work outside of office settings. It seems really cool and has a lot of humanity built into the whole thing. Love this.

What a fantastic initiative. Please share to help spread the word and keep trans folk in fieldwork safe.

I need your help to get this video seen on insta, so that it can help trans people. If you have an account, I'd really appreciate you leaving a comment! www.instagram.com/p/DeT2IfnNJVM/

The final pre-recorded promo video for the trans fieldwork guidelines gets posted today! Can't wait to sign off and take a bit of a break after this project

This is one of those things I'm going to keep reposting until you're sick of it. It's not just because I want to make sure everyone sees it. I want everyone to see it multiple times. I want it in your long-term memories so that it's something you use and share and don't forget when you scroll away

If you want a six minute summary of how to support trans+ fieldworkers, then why not check out this video we made (voiced by the incredible @izzyvalkyrie.bsky.social)?
