I Can be a Voice for People: Meaning making among transgender grassroots organizers in the US Southeast
Based on qualitative interviews with 15 transgender grassroots organizers across the United States Southeast, this project explores the experiences of those facilitating peer support for trans people. Social support is often cited as a resource for mitigating the effects of bias and discrimination for transgender people. Yet, the available research fails to account for the experiences of those who are providing or facilitating this support, often…

Advantages and Challenges of Queer Scholars Doing Qualitative Queer Criminology and Criminal Justice Research
Qualitative researchers encounter obstacles related to publishing, acceptability, research self-disclosure, rapport development, feelings of guilt or vulnerability, and opportunity that quantitative scholars often do not. Here we discuss our experiences with these obstacles related to one queer qualitative study in hopes that it will provide knowledge to the next generation of queer qualitative scholars. We begin by discussing the state of the fi…
Terfs aren’t feminists: Lesbians stand against trans exclusion
In this article, I examine lesbians' solidarity with trans people in the United States. Trans exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs) are feminists who believe that there is a stark difference between the biological reality of sex and the socially constructed nature of gender. They argue that sex is essential and innate. This leads some feminists to the argument that trans people are trying to infiltrate sex exclusive spaces. While TERFs are not a…

Trans Manhood: The Intersections of Masculinities, Queerness, and the South
Using qualitative interviews with trans men across the Southeastern United States, this article examines how regional constructions of masculinities and manhood shape how trans men understand and do gender in this region of the country. This analysis is situated at the intersections of three areas of study-southern studies, masculinities studies, and trans studies-and demonstrates how trans masculinities in the South broaden the conversations occ…

Inequitable Power Comes from and Creates Inequitable Structure: The Continued Relevance of Feminist Theory for Understanding Intimate Partner Violence in Transgender Lives
Brotherhood and sexism as manhood acts for trans men in the Southeastern United States
While several studies have explored manhood acts and compensatory manhood acts in cisgender men, few have examined them in the trans community. This research fills gaps in the literature by examining an understudied population in the Southeastern United States, an area of the country where queer lives are often ignored. Additionally, it allows for the continued separation of masculinities from only those bodies assigned male at birth. Using 51 in…
Trans men's pathways to incarceration
In this study, we examine trans men’s pathways to incarceration, through the lens of feminist criminology, specifically pathways perspective, intersectionality, and queer criminology. We extend the use of feminist pathways theory to a population other than girls and women. We discuss specific pathways that contribute to trans men’s criminal justice system involvement, including: (1) childhood abuse; (2) victimization experiences; and, (3) homeles…
Trans Men in the South: Becoming Men
Through the voices of 51 trans men, Baker A. Rogers analyzes what it means to be a trans man in the southeastern United States. Rogers argues that the common themes that pervade trans men’s experiences in the South are complicated by other intersecting identities, such as sexuality, religion, race, class, and place. This study explores the intersectionalities of a group of people who are often invisible, by choice or necessity, in broader culture…
Researching while queer: A research note about a genderqueer lesbian conducting qualitative research in the southeastern United States
In this research note, I use an autoethnographic approach to examine the challenges of qualitative research for queer scholars, and to bring the embodied, interactive, and gendered research experience to life. I compare and contrast how my queer embodiment and identity was received, or erased, in two different research contexts, both within the southeastern United States. The first study discussed involved in-person and phone interviews with Miss…
We're the Normal Ones Here: Community Involvement, Peer Support, and Transgender Mental Health
This article uses ethnographic methods to explore how peer support and community involvement influence the mental health and well-being of transgender (or, trans) people in the southeastern United States. The study builds on existing research that suggests that trans community involvement and peer support among trans people enhance mental health experiences and moderate the effects of stigma and discrimination on health outcomes. Through qualitat…

Drag as a Resource: Trans* and Nonbinary Individuals in the Southeastern United States
Through 32 in-depth surveys with drag kings, I ask how do trans*/nonbinary individuals find a way to make a home in the Southeastern United States? I answer this by examining the use of drag kinging as a resource to explore gender identity and find resources for gender transition. This study adds to previous research on drag kinging by expanding beyond large cities and college towns to include a broader look at the Southeast, where queer lives ha…
