Hey researchers across this continent who write about non-binary folks, add to public information, and yet fail to include the sheer volume of writing and discussion of Indigenous scholars. Why? What are we doing wrong?

#NonBinary
#IndigenousNonBinary

Or around gender diversity, if you prefer the distinction. I'm surprised (honestly a bit annoyed) by how many ECRs and HDRs who write about gender diversity and fail to include our work or reference our existence. I just went through a site focused on this w/out a single mention.

I think about the scholarship of Madi Day or Andy Farrell, for instance. Or the brilliant writings of Nayuka Gorrie or Ellen van Neerven or Hayden Moon. I mean I'm mentioning a few people who have added their thoughts for you to ignore.

I won't call out the site that talks about having everything on non-binary people, but just fails to include us at all, because maybe they'll see this and fix it. Maybe.

I just subscribed to their site, so perhaps I'll see something pop out when they include us in a few decades.

I will say if you're talking about the horrors of the UK and foreshadowing it for Aus and you fail to consider Indigenous scholarship on this, good luck to you.

Then again, this is colonisers arguing with one another, so maybe that's the hell they make for themselves (and us).
