The Nonbinary Blackness of Pauli Murray and Ornette Coleman
This short essay reflects on desires for body modification expressed by civil rights activist Pauli Murray and jazz innovator Ornette Coleman to offer some preliminary thoughts on the concept of "nonbinary Blackness." It compares the different ways Murray and Coleman negotiated the "glandular imaginary" that informed mid-twentieth-century ideas about sex, gender, and identity, and influenced decisions they made about their own bodies. The transma…

My Words to Victor Frankenstein Above the Village of Chamounix
The attribution of monstrosity remains a palpable characteristic of most lesbian and gay representations of transsexuality, displaying in unnerving detail the anxious, fearful underside of the current cultural fascination with transgenderism. Because transsexuality more than any other transgender practice or identity represents the prospect of destabilizing the foundational presupposition of fixed genders upon which a politics of personal identit…
Trans visibility and trans viability
This Roundtable is crafted from the online event held on Saturday 20 November 2021 on Trans Visual Cultures. That event was organized to celebrate the recently published themed issue of Journal of Visual Culture on new work in transgender art and visual cultures, guest edited by Cyle Metzger and Kirstin Ringelberg, and suggested for the journal by Jill H Casid. The themed issue emerged from a session run at the College Art Association in New York…
Ask a Feminist
In this conversation, transgender studies scholars Susan Stryker and V Varun Chaudhry discuss the emergence of the field of transgender studies and its continued relevance and necessity today. First, Stryker discusses some of the key texts central to the emergence of transgender studies in the late 1980s and early 1990s, contextualizing these texts within a broader political context. Stryker then tells the story of the emergence and growth of Tra…
A Common Groundlessness
On Stalling and Turning
This series of elliptically interrelated autotheoretical vignettes offers a “wayward genealogy” of how the author came to be involved in the Stalled! public toilet redesign project and what that project entails. The article revolves around observations of the actions of stalling and turning and of the spatial imaginaries that make these actions both necessary and legible in a variety of contexts—of watching pelicans dive into the Pacific Ocean, l…

Em 1995 eu me encontrava na fila, esperando minha vez para falar no microfone no Auditorio Proshansky do Centro de Pos-Graduacao da City University of New York. Estava participando de uma conferencia chamada "Historia Lesbica e Gay", organizada pelo Centro de Estudos Lesbicos e Gays (CLAGS). Eu havia acabado de assistir a um painel de debates sobre "genero e o papel homossexual", moderado por Randolph Trumbach e que tinha como palestrantes Will R…
Surviving in the shadow of the un/seen
This short, first-person essay describes and briefly evaluates the life and work of the Russian–Hungarian trans-identified artist El Kazovsky (1948–2008). It principally focuses the author’s viewing of ‘The Survivor’s Shadow: The Life and Work of El Kazovsky’ – a massive, 19-room retrospective exhibition at the Hungarian National Gallery in 2015–2016. The author explores the paradox of El Kazovsky’s visibility as a nationally celebrated artist in…
General Editor's Introduction
D uring a recent family visit, I mentioned to a precocious teenage lesbian rel- ative that the next issue of TSQ would be a special issue on porn.Without batting an eyelash, she said, "You should check out 'trans bee pops shy cherry blossom' on Pornhub."Intrigued, I did.Entering those terms into the search field on Pornhub's front page took me to a fifty-one-second video clip of a bee hovering in midair near a flower.A deep masculine-sounding voi…

The interview has been edited to highlight Stone's persistent attention to questions…
Stalled
A long-simmering moral panic over the presence of transgender people in sex-segregated public toilets has reached an acute state since the spring of 2015, as an unprecedented wave of mass-culture visibility for trans* issues has intersected with recent court decisions guaranteeing trans* people access to gender-appropriate toilets. The current backlash against trans* people using public toilets that match their gender identity reflects a longer h…

My Words to Victor Frankenstein Above the Village of Chamounix
I am not the * rst to link Frankenstein's monster and the transsexual body. Mary Daly makes the connection explicit by discussing transsexuality in "Boundary Violation and the Frankenstein Phenomenon," in which she characterizes transsexuals as the agents of a "necrophilic invasion" of female space (69-72). Janice Raymond, who acknowledges Daly as a formative in= uence, is less direct when she says that "the problem of transsexuality would best b…

Introduction: Trans-, Trans, or Transgender? Susan Stryker (bio), Paisley Currah (bio), and Lisa Jean Moore (bio) The title that appears on the cover of this journal is Trans-, not Trans, and not Transgender. A little hyphen is perhaps too flimsy a thing to carry as much conceptual freight as we intend for it bear, but we think the hyphen matters a great deal, precisely because it marks the difference between the implied nominalism of "trans" and…

De/Colonizing Transgender Studies of China
As the historical research of this volume's editor, Howard Hsueh Hao Chiang, makes clear, in recounting the introduction of "transsexuality" to China, concepts originating in Western discourses informed by sexological science have a way of travelling transnationally, as part of broader patterns of Eurocentric imperialism and colonization and as part of the global accumulation and transfer of capital. This has certainly been the case with transgen…
