Guidance titled "Recognising and Counteracting Microaggressions Against Trans and/or Non-Binary People" is currently being used in official staff training at the University of Edinburgh.

Let's take a closer look 🧵
telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/05/0… This document was produced by the same authors as the "What is transphobia?" article, which was later removed from the (EDI) section of the University website, and repeats many of the same arguments and misrepresentations we addressed in our response. xxnetwork.co.uk/2021/01/16/res…

Thread: We are pleased that @trussliz & @GEOgovuk have distanced themselves from the inaccurate & irresponsible guidance published by @EqualiTeach. However, this document did not appear out of thin air. Questions need to be answered as to how government funding is being used. EqualiTeach have been publicising this material as early as February. That a statement was only made yesterday raises serious concerns about lack of oversight on government funded programmes. equaliteach.co.uk/new-programme-…

We are a youth lead feminist network from a diverse range of backgrounds. We believe freedom of assembly, association, opinion and expression are fundamental principles for women’s liberation. We are united under the shared understanding of women’s oppression being sex-based. This theory accounts for the collective experience of all women, who experience oppression as a sex class, and reaches across geographic, cultural and economic differences. We argue that biology is the basis of this oppression and gender is the means by which it is maintained.
