Abstract	As backlash politics and practices of patriarchal, white, Western, educated, industrialized, rich, democratic reproduction continue to keep certain people 'in their place', including feminists working for gender equity/women's liberation and those that queer gender binaries and other categories in society, (virtual) social fields such as Outdoor and Environmental Education (OEE), including in Higher Education, are yet to adequately address gender equity. With a somewhat smaller target than saving the world, yet big idea remit--'gender equity' in/through OEE in HE (OEEiHE), interconnected to and reflective of 'our' current dilemmas and pandemic, I use a conceptual yarn to explore and pose a number of theoretical and issue-based challenges to OEE, beyond and within HE. Drawing on scholars in and outside the field I suggest that in order to address complex socio-ecological issues, this field needs to break its own doxa, valuing such destruction, so that previously marginalised and emerging possibilities can be enabled. Only then will OEE demonstrate an ability to embody diversity, inclusion and an ecology that is at the same time sustainable AND changing, making a difference that really counts. (As Provided).
