The Cis Child

[Terfulike]

I've searched the Web but can't find this phrase used anywhere else. This page came up on the Connecticut sports thread.

What is a cis child do you think?

Shit

I'm a bit late in but I was gong to say how badly written that is... it will show, will it?

I'd never have got that past Ethics! And I am surprised that Loughborough is being so lax or so lazily political... 6 PhD students to explore the current and changing landscape of sports participation for transgender adults and children and recommend changes to promote inclusive participation.

I now a couple of the supervisors... I am very surprised at one of them. He never used to be quite so relaxed about research terminology! Most egregious is talking about the portrayal of transgender sporting elite and using Caster Semenya as their example of "gender-diverse sports personalities" They'd have been better off not using anybody... but probably haven't as all the others carry highly negative connotations!

If you read through the 5 studies, they all state that they are looking to make changes in order to support transgender athletes into sport... they aren't fact finding in the broadest sense, so they will find what they are looking for and will probably present it as "This is what is needed to get what is wanted for all athletes"

Funding by UK taxpayers then

Is there any gender critical mumsnetter who doesn't have a twitter or Facebook account in her own name full of vile terfish nonsense that would out her and who fancies putting "Dr" in her title?

So I'm going to work ,paying tax and that money is being used to erase my rights?

Caster semenya is not transgender.

samphire that is interesting. Do you know them well enough to talk to them about this?

Is Elizabeth Peel transgender?

I think this is one for Loughborough’s ethics in research committee, no? I’m sure someone who is so committed to diversity would have no problem taking a deeper look at their own biases to ensure integrity....

From the level of PhD grant I think the sports one is also research council funding.

Research institutions can either apply for just PhD grants or for 'full economic costs' of the project (they get 80% of the costs funded if successful). Details here.

One of the projects involves working with Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health so there may also be NHS funding involved.

Sadly no, Bowlof he was a newbie lecturer 18 years ago and was an absolute stickler for non nuanced, unbiased research proposals. I only worked with him for a couple of months, and then at a remove. He is 2nd on one of the projects, so I am not sure he is anything other than an overseer, it certainly wasn't his area of interest... though I can see how he has moved to it, perhaps...

But I could pop in to see my old mentor, now a Professor and see what she makes of it

Oh do that samphire :)

I’d love to see the ethics committee minutes on these ...

No Jaffa, she is a gay woman!

Was at a kids tennis competition yesterday. Top boys and girls in our area. The boys are just so much stronger and faster - even at 10. I want my daughter to compete on a level playing field (court), in a girls competition.
