Suicide Affirmation and the Positive Right to Die
Undoing Suicidism: A Trans, Queer, Crip Approach to Rethinking (Assisted) Suicide By Baril, Alexandre (University Press, 2023). Around the time I began reading this book, a queer friend undertook a suicide attempt. Having awoken early, I was scrolling haphazardly through social media on my phone when I encountered a series of increasingly distressed messages posted by my friend overnight. These culminated in a post that clearly indicated her inte…
Academic freedom and the paradox of tolerance
A Methodology for the Marginalised
This article proposes that survival may be considered a research method for social researchers, especially if they are undertaking fieldwork within marginalised communities of which they are a part. Drawing on an autoethnographic account of conducting research while trans, it shows how marginalised researchers may encounter both challenges common within the neoliberal university, and troubles specific to the researcher's social identity, touching…

Our argument draws on a critical and empirical analysis of the Athena SWAN (Scientific Women's Academic Network) charter mark, which originated in the UK. We argue that Athena SWAN is a product of neoliberalization…
Transnormativity in the psy disciplines
The psy disciplines (i.e., psychiatry, psychology, psychoanalysis, and psychotherapy) have played a significant role in shaping understandings of transgender people's lives in ways that are transnormative (i.e., by emphasizing one particular account of what it means to be transgender). This article documents (a) how the rise of the psy disciplines created opportunities for transgender people to access treatment (but that such access often require…
De/constructing DIY identities in a trans music scene
The emergence of ‘trans’ as a social and political movement and identity has created the conditions for the creation of a new music scene, organized around the gender(ed) identities of those involved rather than around musical genre. This article examines the parallels between the attitude taken towards gender(ed) identity and the organization of events in the United Kingdom’s trans music scene. Both entail de/construction through strategies of ‘…
