If you're in the UK and have ever used any kind of gender-affirming voice training (coaching, youtube, whatever), my student would love to hear from you. It's anonymous! universityofkent.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... #linguistics

Survey about gender-affirming voice training

Please share your anonymous experience of gender-affirming voice training, of any kind, in the UK. It will help us to understand what kind of methods help people to achieve their goals.

I have a new article out today with the homie @pereed.bsky.social in PLOS One, “Gender and Racial Bias Issues in a Commercial ‘Tone of Voice’ Analysis System”! In short, don’t believe devices that claim to tell you how you sound to other humans! journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

DDFC@ddfccollective.bsky.social · 2y ago

#DDFC is a collective of language scholar-educators & learners in French & Francophone Studies who are committed to challenging oppression in all of its forms. We're built by & for those marginalized in & by our field. Repost & follow to help us (re)connect with people who share our commitments? 🤍

DDFC Mission We, the Diversity, Decolonization, & the French Curriculum (DDFC), are a collective of scholars, educators, and learners who aim to challenge –through our teaching, scholarship, and service– oppression in all its forms, in the classroom and beyond. We reject: ​ Racialization: encompassing racism, anti-Black sentiments, color biases, ethnic cleansing, settler colonial legacies, erasure of Indigenous cultures, and the reinforcement of white supremacy; Regimes of embodiment: dictating normative expectations around gender, sexuality, and ability that restrict possibilities and reify binaries, (cis)sexism, homophobia, and ableism; Regulation of modes of expression: manifested in language biases, discrimination based on accents, native speakerism, suppression of non-dominant languages, and emphasis on academic pedigree; Socio-economic disparities and hierarchies: established through distinctions in class, caste systems, educational hierarchies, and reflected in wealth gaps, burdens of debt, cycles of poverty, systemic precarity, competitive mindset driven by neoliberalism, the glorification of meritocracy, and the devaluation of certain skills; Systems of civic order: shaped by concepts like citizenship, nationalism, vulnerability linked to legal status, and the propagation of fear targeting minoritized communities. ​We are committed to actively combatting the perpetuation of these inequalities through fostering equity, dismantling systemic barriers, promoting inclusivity, and supporting bodily autonomy and a right to self-definition.
