  • HOW INCLUSION CAN EXCLUDE: the CASE of PUBLIC TOILET PROVISION for WOMEN How Inclusion Can Exclude: the Case of Public Toilet Provision for Women
    HOW INCLUSION CAN EXCLUDE: THE CASE OF PUBLIC TOILET PROVISION FOR WOMEN How Inclusion can Exclude: The Case of Public Toilet Provision for Women GAIL RAMSTER, CLARA GREED and JO-ANNE BICHARD Our built environment is required to meet human needs at the most basic of levels. If our pavements and roads aff ord our movement across the built environment’s landscapes, then provisions should also be in place to meet the needs of the body in motion. This paper will take a historical perspective of the introduction and design of public toilets to illustrate how certain spaces in the city were defi ned by the bodies that toilet provision served. It will show how biological functions such as menstruation are not being met by public toilet design and infrastructure, and how overall provision is inadequate for women for both biological and social factors. Public toilets refl ect and reinforce a binary gender society, resulting in some users being excluded or their rights to access challenged by others. A new chapter is currently being writt en regarding the needs of transgender people, raising questions around existing design diff erences between men’s and women’s toilets and the very notion of segregating public toilets by gender, evident through the growing numbers of ‘gender-neutral toilets’. However, these changes to public toilet design and provision are emerging without expert guidance and with a lack of research into how this might positively or negatively impact diff erent groups. Designers, architects and planners are facing a series of interesting challenges when considering how new and existing UK provision can be inclusive of a diversity of bodies and their rights to access without excluding those socially and culturally dependant on a gender-segregated space.

One of the Scottish Transgender Alliance’s key areas of focus is improving health service provision for trans people. Anecdotal evidence among trans groups suggested trans people are experiencing high levels of depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal ideation related to transphobic discrimination experiences and lack of appropriate health service provision (especially in regard to lack of access to timely, good quality and patient-centred NHS gender reassignment services).

  • The Gender Wars, Academic Freedom and Education
    Journal of Philosophy of Education, Vol. 55, No. 1, 2021 The Gender Wars, Academic Freedom and Education JUDITH SUISSA AND ALICE SULLIVAN Philosophical arguments regarding academic freedom can sometimes appear removed from the real conflicts playing out in contemporary universities. This paper focusses on a set of issues at the front line of these conflicts, namely, questions regarding sex, gender and gender identity. We document the ways in which the work of academics has been affected by political activism around these questions and, drawing on our respective disciplinary expertise as a sociologist and a philosopher, elucidate the costs of curtailing discussion on fundamental demographic and conceptual categories. We discuss some philosophical work that addresses the conceptual distinction between academic freedom and free speech and explore how these notions are intertwined in significant ways in universities. Our discussion elucidates and emphasises the educational costs of curtailing academic freedom. The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction be- tween true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist. (Arendt, 1973, p. 474) INTRODUCTION Philosophical arguments regarding academic freedom can sometimes ap- pear removed from the real conflicts playing out in contemporary universi- ties. This paper focusses on a set of issues at the front line of these conflicts, namely, questions regarding sex, gender and gender identity.

    Women, men and news: it’s life, Jim, but not as we know it (1) Authors: Karen Ross, Karen Boyle, Cynthia Carter & Debbie Ging Author details: Karen Ross (Corresponding author): [email protected] Karen Boyle, Communications, Media and Culture, University of Stirling, UK. [email protected] Cynthia Carter, School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, Cardiff University, UK. [email protected] Debbie Ging, School of Communications, Dublin City University, Ireland. [email protected] Acknowledgements: We would like to thank the volunteer monitoring teams for England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland who did a great job, and Tobias Bürger and Jane Wynn for their excellent work with the data. Accepted for publication in Journalism Studies, 9.8.2016 DOI: 10.1080/1461670X.2016.1222884 Abstract In the twenty-teens, there are increasing numbers of women occupying executive positions in politics, business and the law but their words and actions rarely make the front page. In this article, we draw on data collected as part of the 2015 Global Media Monitoring Project and focus on England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland. Since the first GMMP in 1995, there has been a slow but steady rise in the proportion of women who feature, report or present the news (now at 24 per cent), but that increase is a mere seven per cent over twenty years. Not only is there a problem with visibility but our data also suggest that when women are present, their contributions are often confined to the realm of the private as they speak as citizens rather than experts and in stories about health but not politics.

  • Analysing the Effects of UK Trans Media Representation on Trans Audiences by Rhianna Humphrey, University of Glasgow, UK
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Enlighten "I think journalists sometimes forget that we're just people": Analysing the Effects of UK Trans Media Representation on Trans Audiences by Rhianna Humphrey, University of Glasgow, UK Abstract: The increased focus on trans lives across a variety of media has brought to light the difficult relationship between trans audiences of this media and the content produced about trans people. The print and digital content of newspapers is an important site for investigation because it can be readily accessed and shared quickly across a variety of platforms and there is a significant volume of content produced about trans people. In order to critically engage with the content produced about trans people in UK newspapers the views of trans audiences are important to assess the impact this media has on their daily lives. Academic work addressing trans lived experiences has been invaluable in understanding healthcare and relationships (Girshick, 2008; Hines, 2007) but there has been comparatively little specific work on trans media representation. The work that has been done found patterns of misrepresentation of trans identities (Kermode and TMW, 2010). This notable absence presents a potential barrier to understanding the ways in which trans media coverage impacts trans lives. With qualitative interviews at the centre of this research methodology, this paper considers trans representation in UK newspapers and analyses the effects on trans audiences. Interviews and focus groups were conducted online with self-defining trans people as experts on the ways newspaper reporting affects their lives.
