I don't really worry about my job if I expressed GC views at work. My academic specialism isn't relevant, our HR dept is cautious, and actually my UCU rep has replied to yesterday's flounce with a gentle offer to help me if I ever need it anyway. She didn't seem to know much about the whole issue, actually.
I still don't want to come out as GC because I worry about the impact this would have on transgender students. I don't want them to stop existing, or to reject or disrespect their choices. But that's the message they are getting around GC academics, isn't it. So I don't think they have reason to feel less safe around me - but I do think they're likely to feel that way and I'd hate that.
Conversely, students rarely show much interest in my religious beliefs, though they could draw conclusions, rightly or wrongly, from my ethnicity. I'd never ask directly about theirs, but very occasionally they'll offer that information, in the classroom. Even more rarely, they'll ask me, and I'll usually offer a bland partial response.
I'd be fairly sure that most of my classes feature some combination of Christians and Muslims from lapsed to devout, as well as atheists. Students clearly make the same assumption. None of us seems to feel less safe for it.
This is such a toxic situation.
