The document discusses concerns around proposals to make gender-neutral pronouns mandatory and the erasure of gender identities that could result. It notes that for transgender individuals who have fought for their gender to be recognized, being forced into a gender-neutral category could undo that work. It also discusses the challenges blind individuals face in determining others' gender without pronouns as clues. Overall, it argues that proposals for simplification through removing gendered language fail to consider the real-world experiences and oppression faced by those with intersecting identities.

THE FIGURE OF THE TRANSWOMAN
OF COLOR THROUGH THE LENS OF
"DOING GENDER"
SALVADOR VIDAL-ORTIZ
American University
Ioften visit my birth family in Manati, a mid-size town in Puerto Rico.
For over 20 years, I have driven on a main road (before the expressway
was built) that connected the West and the North parts of the Island. At the
outskirts of town, there is often a voluptuous woman-with low hips, dark
hair, tight jeans, and more often than not smoking a cigarette. She stands
by the side of the road in what seems to be a small pathway to a house.
She cruises the passing cars, but sometimes just stands there-waiting to
be noticed. Growing up queer in Manati, I have noticed this woman many
times in the last two decades; although I have never spoken to her, I
learned long ago that she is a transwoman. Recently, Mom and I drove by,
and I checked to see if she was still there. With the rise of the AIDS epi
demic since the 1980s, and my (erroneous) assumptions about sex work
and HIV risk, I have wondered if she is still alive. "Oh she is still there,"
says my mom. And I see her. I try to understand why she signifies so much
in my imagination, how she reassures me by being alive, why I need to see
her standing there. This transwoman signifies to me the figure of the
transwoman of color. Who do you imagine her to be? What is your figure
of the transwoman of color?
This vignette illustrates both my assumptions about what the reader
might (not) know, as well as my own position vis-a-vis "trans" people. As
a nontranssexual queer man, I hold a set of readings on gender (West and
Zimmerman 1987) that shape how I view nontranssexual women and
men, and transpeople. As a professor from a U.S. ethno-racial m ...

In this week's readings, I was drawn towards the overlapping themes that the analysis of “bicurious-ness” in Rupp & Taylor’s “Straight Girls Kissing” and str8 ads in Ward’s “Dude-Sex” contracted. Both sold similar narratives of the hyper-heterosexuality and embellishment of lesbian and gay sexualities. Through perverse discourse appropriated racial stereotypes into a white culture, Ward demonstrated that “‘gay’ as a chosen identity is not particularly linked to who is having sex...instead, being gay is about how sex is done” (Ward 2008; 420). The imagery of the black muscular man atop a changed scrawny white man bolsters the ingrained stereotypes and simultaneously renders the dominant-submissive dichotomy racially transposed. Additionally, race enters the scene again through the heightened use of African American vernacular in the attempt to appear hyper-heterosexual. Ward has shown links to the theory of invisible secret homosexuality in the black community as fetishized by “str8” white men. I believe this “secrecy” stereotype (another one!) coupled with the glamorized aggressive black man who sports a massive cock image enforces an inherent masculinity that becomes inseparable with heterosexuality, justifying the perverted language and racial appropriation abundant in these ads. In Rupp & Taylor’s interviews with students partying in Isla Vista, they touch upon this acceptability of residing in the “in-between”, as long as this “in-between” doesn’t result in homosexuality. Articulately put, “...while straight college students today can make out with women and call themselves “bicurious” without challenge to their heterosexual identity, the same kind of flexibility does not extend to lesbians” (Rupp & Taylor 2010: 31). In both readings, space is established to allow exploration without dissociation from the normative and comfortable folds of heterosexuality. In Rupp & Taylor, this space is described as involving alcohol, parties, and maybe a three-some with a man that acts “as an extension of the safe hereosexual space.” For str8 guys, this space has been constructed in hyper-heterosexualized homophobia. For both of these situations, the people that benefit are white and heterosexual, while blacks, lesbians, and gays are forced to surrender their property to, essentially, the heteronormative society.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

2. Considering trans perspectives would reveal a range of concerns with these
proposals, mostly centered around their practicality and tmaterial
consequences. Suppose we were to take their suggestion seriously, and begin
insisting on gender-neutral pronouns everywhere. What would happen then?
What would it mean for those of us who have fought to have our gender
recognized as women, who have fought seemingly endless amounts of
administrative red tape—what transgender legal scholar Dean Spade
calls administrative violence—to have that erased? And how does this
proposal factor in the history of misogynistic and trans-erasing narratives in
this world of scholarship—a history that has often consisted of punishing and
shaming trans women for asserting femininity, with the precise argument
that this is somehow reinforcing the patriarchy?
3. It's not just in US universities that gender-neutral language is advancing.
Last year, Facebook gave users the option to customise gender beyond
male and female, and pick a pronoun from "he", "she", and "they". This
summer the Oxford Dictionaries website added the honorific "Mx", defining it
as "a title used before a person's surname or full name by those who wish to
avoid specifying their gender or by those who prefer not to identify
themselves as male or female". Meanwhile, Caitlyn Jenner and the
controversy over Benedict Cumberbatch playing a non-binary character in
the film Zoolander 2 have kept the subject of gender identity topical.
4. Universities, however, remain the most fertile ground for new pronouns.
kat baus, a non-binary student who graduated from Harvard this year - and who also
writes their name without capital letters - regrets that the university's computer
system was not introduced earlier. "It would have been a lot easier and less
awkward," baus says.
baus sent emails or visited professors during office hours to explain their gender
identity and pronouns. In smaller classes they (baus) brought it up when introducing
themself.
"I don't know a single trans person who likes having that conversation," baus says.
Being able to do it with the click of a mouse would have allowed them to get straight
down to their work in class, baus says - and would have allowed their classmates to
get straight down to theirs.
5. It is sometimes difficult to determine somebody's gender by sight but what if
you're blind? Mike Lambert recently experienced this problem when he
attended a course on equality and diversity.
"I listen hard to Nina's voice. There's something soft and tentative about it -
but the pitch is unmistakeably male... I tell myself that any concerns I have
about Nina's gender are a thing of little consequence. The whole point of the
day is equality and diversity, and I shouldn't get so hung-up trying to slot
people into neat pigeon-holes. And then, I'm struck by a horrifying thought.
How am I going to get through more than a couple of sentences without
committing myself to 'he' or 'she', 'his' or 'hers'?"
6. Taking away gendered pronouns is premised on the idea that simplification
will lead to a flattening of gender disparity, but this work must consider the
real-world conditions of the people who are the subject of multiple
intersecting oppressions—of sexism, racism, transmisogyny and poverty—
and begin with their concerns, rather than moving away from nuance of their
lived experience.
