‘Teenage Intimacies’ is now officially out in the world! It’s a history of teenage sexuality in postwar England that speaks to ideas of growing up, adolescence, friendship, family, identity, culture and education. It’s been a long time coming but I’m really proud of the end result! 🗃️ #histsex

DARWIN AND THE QUEER ORIGINS OF LIFE is published in the UK today! To mark the occasion, I've written a blog about the natural wonder of sexual polymorphism—and why Richard Dawkins' view of Darwin needs some clarification. 🌈📚🗃️ yalebooks.co.uk/blog/darw…. #booksky #histsci #histsex #queerhistory

I’m feeling proud that these words are central to nursing science and the history of gender and sexuality. Shows that we’re doing important work that small-minded people are afraid of. #histsex #nursing

They're only banned if you let them be banned. The proper response from any agency is "Fuck you. See you in court." All of this website scrubbing and exhibit purging is cowardly and disgraceful. As Timothy Snyder has observed, it's simply teaching power what it can do.

Ecstatic to be at Oxford next month! And yes, I have a few things to say about that UK Supreme Court case which *checks notes* did not hear from a single trans woman. Maybe a few thousand years of trans herstory can speak instead 🏳️‍⚧️ #transhistory #histsex #lgbtqhistory #transstudies #transrights 💘
