Context #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheTelegraphEwanSomerville "Midwifery students are being taught how to help men give birth in a textbook that experts have warned is rife with anatomical fiction. Edinburgh Napier University told training midwives that they may be caring for a 'birthing person' who has male genitalia and a prostate gland, in a bid to support transgender people. A module guide on how to provide safe care in childbirth told students: 'It is important to note that while most times the birthing person will have female genitalia, you may be caring for a pregnant or birthing person who is transitioning from male to female and may still have external male genitalia" (28 April 2022).

Supplementary #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianRobertBaird "Of course, it's important not to overstate the case: the evolution of the idea of whiteness was messy and often indistinct. As the historian Nell Irvin Painter has cautioned, 'white identity didn't just spring to life full-blown and unchanging'. It had important antecedents that included a growing sense of a pan-European identity; longstanding cultural associations that saw white as a symbol of purity and virtue; and bog-standard ethnocentrism. Still, with only slightly exaggerated precision, we can say that one of the most crucial developments in 'the discovery of personal whiteness' took place during the second half of the 17th century, on the peripheries of the still-young British empire. What's more, historians such as Oscar and Mary Handlin, Edmund Morgan and Edward Rugemer have largely confirmed Du Bois's suspicion that while xenophobia appears to be fairly universal among human groupings, the invention of a white racial identity was motivated from the start by a need to justify the enslavement of Africans. In the words of Eric Williams, a historian who later became the first prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago, 'slavery was not born of racism: rather, racism was the consequence of slavery'." https://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/apr/20/the-invention-of-whiteness-long-history-dangerous-idea #WebsiteStuffWhitePeopleLikeSWPL [Wikipedia] #MetaphorPeriodization17thCentury #PhenomnWhiteness #IRLAuthorTaNehisiCoates #IRLSociologistWilliamEdwardBurghardtDuBois #IRLHistorianNellIrvinPainter #ToponymEmpireBritish #IRLHistorianOscarHandlin #IRLHistorianMaryFlugHandlin #IRLHistorianEdmundMorgan #EDUUSYaleUniversityEdwardRugemer #OtheringHateXenophobia #PowerControlChattelSlavery #IRLHistorianEricWilliams [Wikipedia] #ToponymCaribbeanTrinidadAndTobago
