‘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

Also of interest to #histmed #histsex folks: @ceyingst.bsky.social's essay on trans information history and female soldier/sailor/surgeon ballads. I was lucky enough to read an earlier version of this and it blew me away:

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 💘

These are the 110,481 catalog cards I reviewed for one chapter of my dissertation. 4,672 folio pages. these are massive af books, so double that page number for estimated standard academic book sized pages. this part of the dissertation was really interesting, because #histsex 🗃️🗂️ #phdchat 1/2

a stack of books with lots of flags stick in the pages. the stack of books is over 1 foot/33cm high. there is a tape measurement in the photo.

a photo of one of the pages of these books. 21 catalog cards at near-full size are in each page. this is a photograph of 42 cards

If you're in Limerick on the evening of Thursday 25 September, I'll be sharing research from my upcoming book on pregnancy and paternity disputes in 18th/19th century Ulster as part of the Limerick History Festival. Be lovely to see folks there! #womenshist #histsex #histfam
