Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

Jenny Saul

Thanks so much! I saw that you were displaying images of the book, so figured it would be OK for him to do so as well. Thanks also for all your amazing work.

Being Trans in Philosophy

This Saturday we are so excited to present one of four *fully public* sessions of the American Philosophical Association's very last online divisional meeting. No registration needed! & check out the other public sessions on virtual conferencing, contingent faculty, and philosophy in public policy!

For those not "going to" the @apaphilosophy.bsky.social Pacific virtual conference over the next few days, there are still public sessions that anyone can attend from anywhere (a perk of the virtual!) so take a look and consider logging in for one of these sessions:

@adriannefblack.bsky.social I have an MA student who would like to discuss your story in a presentation about escaping from echo chambers. He would like to show images of stories about you and an image of your book, but is concerned about displaying your previous name. What would you prefer?

Jenny Saul

Another option would be that it’s an utterance that will carry different implicatures for different people due to their background assumptions. At one time I might have called that a dogwhistle but now I am not so sure.

Jenny Saul

This thought is why I don't think 'religious freedom' and 'protest women' are anti-trans dogwhistles. Those are (usually) said by people openly making an argument that widely accepted values have anti-trans consequences.

Jenny Saul

I'm not certain that's what he's doing: he might also be calling upon a widely accepted value (privacy) to make a pro-trans argument, without any effort to conceal.

Jenny Saul

To be a dogwhistle, 'invading student privacy' would need to be a conventionalized way of communicating 'I'm pro-trans' to some people while other people fail to realize this.

The University of Sheffield has stopped paying staff. Not for striking but for refusing to work unpaid to make up for strike days they were already docked for. This is punishment, not negotiation. And it’s completely reckless. www.ucu.org.uk/article/1438...
