GC in Academia

[GCinAcademia]

Title says it all really, and I’m sure I’m not the first to ask a similar question.

I’m GC and work in academia, in a health-related discipline.

I’m an early career researcher so find myself torn between staying true to my GC beliefs and not rocking the boat.

I love what I do, and the place I work, but live in fear that I will be ‘outed’ and lose my job.

Equally, I think I have an ethical responsibility not to allow my work to be swayed by gender ideology.

How do others navigate this?

I think PollyNomial is simply saying that TWAW, and that that is the way to "earn the respect of your colleagues in academia and enjoy a stimulating and lengthy career". Saying 2+2=4 gets you nowhere these days !

Looking through these accounts of what it's like to be GC in Academia, eg: -

"living in fear of being 'outed' and losing my job"
 "keeping their heads down"
 "staying quiet"
  "hissed conversations",  etc,. . 
  and apparently, many "closet" GC people,

it's very clear to me which side in this dispute is the tyrant and which is in fact the Civil Rights movement, true heirs to the Gay Liberation campaign of yore.

I'm simply saying that if you know something is X and that X isn't directly equivalent to Y, you shouldn't say you are reporting on Y, for any combination of fields.
