Very cool intro to queer/trans ecologies, with attention to the circular logics of sex/gender as well as race, challenges to ideas of bounded individuality and species, attention to symbiosis and mutualism, histories of eugenics, dangers of notions of Nature, all presented through/with/across really excellent drawings.

Abstract: Queer/trans Ecologies names a growing and trans-disciplinary body of thought that applies perspectives and sensibilities drawn from queer/trans experience and theory to thinking critically about nature and society. Work in this field aims to unravel persistent circular logics that amplify and reinforce cis- and hetero-normative readings of both ‘nature’ and the ‘social’, while also questioning the validity of any clean delineation between these two domains. Concerned precisely with the nature of the relationship between human societies and their wider environments, queer/trans ecologies would reward deeper and more extensive engagement within human geography. This graphic-format article aims to inspire such critical engagement by introducing some core conceptual contributions and their relevance to key geographical concepts.
