While we’re on the hot topic of pronouns and misgendering, the Canadian Bar Review just published my article with @AmySalyzyn on preventing misgendering in Canadian courts. Check it out here - open access! cbr.cba.org/index.php/cbr/ar…

It is okay to be scared right now. It feels like we’re on the precipice of regression on queer rights and so much more. And, if you’re like me, you probably feel powerless to stop it. But you aren’t. We aren’t. We have been here before, and won. We will win again. Together.

Canada’s 2021 Census reveals that Ontario is home to more and more engineering graduates – and many are struggling to find employment in their field. Read our full analysis in the latest issue of The Voice: bit.ly/44cpmzG #OSPELEADS #EngineersLead

Cis and Trans people alike, like European and Asian and African people, and like Jewish and non-Jewish people, all know that a discriminatory policy put forward by Elon Musk to isolate one adjective "cisgender" or "cis" as slur or hate speech would be a despicable attack on one group intended to erase them. And illegal under Canadian law, @xcanada and @elonmusk – at Vancouver, British Columbia
Replying to @JamesEsses
Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions. The words “cis” or “cisgender” are considered slurs on this platform.

I've been trying to explain this for two years now. N95s were designed primarily for male caucasian faces. KN95 and KF94 standards came about not because we wanted a knockoff mask standard, but because Asian faces could not pass fit tests with N95 masks.
Great study shows todays respirators, & respirator standards, are not great for HCWs esp females, & non-whites. First, the NIOSH bivariate panel is sized to fit white men, likely due to its roots in mining & heavy industry. Most HCW face sizes weren't even on the chart!

I’m at a building engineering conference and I can tell you with lots of certainty that engineers haven’t had the memo about the rule against slides of text and tables in 6-point Times New Roman. #TheDarkAges #CommunicatingScience – at Montréal, Québec
