Description: Google Scholar is a trans-exclusionary site. Don’t use it. Help us demand change.
Google Scholar is built around a trans-exclusionary and sexist design that assumes people never change names. This is particularly harmful to trans authors.
We need Google to change this, and we need everyone else to stop using Google Scholar until they do.
Google Scholar, unlike competing platforms (such as ResearchGate , Semantic Scholar , and IA Scholar ), provides no meaningful way for an author to update their name throughout the service.
