The problem is that the Wellcome Trust is not crazy internet, they are a major funder of medical research, which effects women as well as men.
Even if you take a historical perspective, which is what archivists should do, you need to take into account that trans definitions are a relatively new perspective and I do not think you can re-write history to create categories which people at the time did not recognise.
I do think the initiative to include marginalised voices is great, and to offer new ways of reading documents to get access to marginalised peoples, but I do not think you can impose current day identity politics on the past.
That is besides the point that many women’s issues historically and now were and are a result of the embodied female nature. So you cannot conflate these with trans people, who have a separate and distinct history and needs.
So, that is why I think by being inclusive, they are creating new categories of exclusion. You just cannot look at the history of women and trans people through the same lens.
Unfortunately, I cannot get to London, so it will have to be correspondence and yes, I will update.
