FID Anglo-American CultureYesterday's keynote at #BritCult2025 #conference was really impactful, with Colby Gordon highlighting the queer & trans elements in #Medieval & #EarlyModern Christian iconography & texts, from Genesis to Jesus Christ & the Last Judgment
María R. Carreras, PhDHere is a very interesting symposium exploring intersections, tensions, and political solidarities between #transstudies and #CriticalAnimalStudies in the context of rising authoritarianism
Alon LischinskyAbsolutely thrilled to be at the launch of the Stronger Voices report from the #TransLearningPartnership detailing the challenges that the UK trans community face in accessing housing, community and livelihood #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TransStudies #TransInclusion
Dr. Katja Thieme (she/they)I mention it because I see the paper getting downloaded quite frequently. But otherwise, we've not seen traction. Not sure why. So, if you have reason to read it and if it fits into your work, we'd be quite excited about seeing it cited. :)

joëlLiebe Leute, die vlt. einen Wikipediaccount haben: Beim Artikel von Adrian de Silva läuft gerade eine Löschdiskussion. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_de_Silva

IrrlichtOn repars sur la lecture du mémoire "les garçons trans, mauvais sujet du féminisme"
Extrait du jour :
"Comme je l'ai précédemment évoque, le script du « privilege masculin » des hommes trans s'ancre
dans une comprehension de l’identité d'homme trans qui est profondément normative : elle concerne
implicitement les hommes trans blancs, de classe moyenne/supérieure, et qui passent socialement pour des
hommes cisgenres"

#TransStudies slash #QueerStudies scholars: do you have a fave paper on queer tokenism and representation?
My go-to for discussing the harms of tokenism is Davis, E. (2016). Typecasts, tokens, and spokespersons: A case for credibility excess as testimonial injustice. Hypatia, 31(3), 485-501 https://www.jstor.org/stable/44076488 — it is a brilliant paper, but I'd like to have something specifically about queer/trans folk if it exists
I'm at an amazing event on trans performance involving both artists and scholars and you could be catching it too, because it's being streamed on Youtube https://youtube.com/live/O-fYfDbHV2k
