Here is a very interesting symposium exploring intersections, tensions, and political solidarities between #transstudies and #CriticalAnimalStudies in the context of rising authoritarianism

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. :) #writingstudies #cdnwrds #transstudies #teamrhetoric

Vielleicht kennt sich jmd. besser aus und kann die Relevanz belegen?

On 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
