My fear is that it would come from a place of deep frustration for me and the algorithms probably wouldn't favour me telling off the internet 😂

It would not be short 😅

@canopyrobin.comOct 11, 2026, 12:45 PM

Very tempted to make a whole series about ways that well-meaning allies get it wrong and can be part of the problem. I wonder how it would be received...

Thank you!

A great resource for trans people trying to negotiate the world in these difficult and hostile times. Please spread far and wide so everyone can see it.

Here's a whole thread about our trans inclusive guidance, including the website, a professional pdf you can print, cite, and share directly, and a professional animated guidance video.

Please help me share the work at inclusivefieldwork.leeds.ac.uk/trans

Want to be hopeful and enjoy life, but most 'positivity content' makes you want to come out in hives? Same. A few tips for staying positive/hopeful without feeling gross: -Acknowledge how fucking hard it is to find joy while the world is on fire,

@elliesparrowart.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 3:42 PMReposted by @canopyrobin.com

-Stop being horrible to yourself. If you had someone following you around all day telling you you were an asshole, you'd probably struggle to enjoy your life. If that person is you, it's even worse, because you can't get away from them.

@elliesparrowart.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 3:42 PMReposted by @canopyrobin.com

Let yourself feel it all and try not to judge any of it. You'll be surprised at how much joy creeps in alongside it all when you make more space. -Enjoy absurdity. Being a weird little gremlin and laughing at dumb shit will improve your life immensely.

Helping spread the word about these brilliant guidelines that @canopyrobin.com and others have put together specifically for trans+ people (anywhere in the world) who do #fieldwork.
Please do share in any networks you’re part of where this might be relevant 🤓🏳️‍⚧️🤓

Trans+ Guidelines

Transgender researchers face substantial inequity and risk when undertaking fieldwork. The guidelines on this page expand upon the PRIDE Guidelines for LGBTQ+ Inclusive Fieldwork by focusing specifically on the inclusion of trans+ identities.

Cartoon of fieldworkers
These guidelines were created through a series of focus groups with trans+ researchers and self-described allies, as part of the Pathways: Participatory Approaches to Trans-Inclusive Field Research project. The project was facilitated by and developed in collaboration with Dr Robin Hayward, who is a trans science communicator and scientist, and who consulted on the trans-inclusivity of the project throughout. The project was led by Professor Martin Zebracki, in collaboration with Dr Tilen Kolar, and was funded by the Research England Enhancing Research Culture Fund.

These guidelines use the term 'trans+' to refer to all identities under the trans umbrella, which may include non-binary and gender non-conforming or gender questioning identities, as well as binary transgender identities. The term ‘fieldwork’ is used to describe any work carried out beyond a researcher’s home institution. Fieldwork can be conducted nationally or internationally and can involve travelling to places that are new or familiar, local or remote, rural or urban. Fieldwork may also include conference attendance and visiting other institutions on a temporary basis.
