Palimpsests of trans rights: Trans-positive stickers and the contestations of transphobia in public space
In recent years, the rights of trans people in the United Kingdom and elsewhere have been increasingly under scrutiny.

Using an archive of 461 images of trans-rights-related stickers photographed in Edinburgh between August 2018 a…

Geographies of Hegemonic Gay Masculinity: Interplays of Trans and Racialized In/Exclusions in the Gay Village of Toronto
Little geographical work has explored the role of hegemonic gay masculinity in constructing queer spaces and its impacts on multiply marginalized lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, Two-Spirit, and additional (LGBTQ2+) people. Building on interviews with LGBTQ2+ youth experiencing homelessness, and photographs taken by them, this article investigates how hegemonic gay masculinity materializes in visual representations of gendered bodies t…
Negotiating racialised (un)belonging: Black LGBTQ resistance in Toronto’s gay village
This article explores the ways in which homeless Black queer and trans youth embody and perform everyday acts of temporal and spatial resistance in Toronto’s gay village. By analysing interviews, mental maps and photographs from my research with homeless lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and Two-Spirit (LGBTQ2) youth, I present how homeless Black queer and trans youth counter the whiteness and anti-Black racism they frequently experience…
Psychic geographies of queer multiculturalism: Reading Fanon, settler colonialism and race in queer space
Utilizing Fanon's theories of psychic, social and embodied processes of racialization and racism, this article examines Toronto's gay village as a site of queer settler multiculturalism and its impacts on Black and Indigenous lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, Two-Spirit and additional (LGBTQ2+) youth experiencing homelessness. I build on Fanon's arguments of cultural alienation, the collective unconscious and white colonial anxiety and …
Straightening' space and time? Peripheral moral panics in print media representations of Canadian LGBTQ2S suburbanites, 1985-2005
This paper adopts a spatial-temporal lens to examine mainstream print media representations of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer and Two-Spirit (LGBTQ2S) suburbanites in Canada's largest metropolitan areas in the 1990s. Due to major changes in Canadian gay rights legislation, the 1990s were a decade when the spatial and temporal reproduction of heteronormativity was contested, including in suburban areas. Through a focus on the metropolitan pe…
When Temporal Orbits Collide: Embodied Trans Temporalities in U.S. Prisons
This paper explores trans temporalities through the experiences of incarcerated trans feminine persons in the United States. The Prison Industrial Complex (PIC) has received increased attention for its disproportionate containment of trans feminine persons, notably trans women of colour. As a system of domination and control, the PIC uses disciplinary and heteronormative time to dominate the bodies and identities of transgender prisoners by limit…

The whiteness of gay urban belonging: Criminalizing LGBTQ youth of color in queer spaces of care
Chicago’s gay village of Boystown has long been linked with whiteness, and in the past decade, tensions have flared between neighborhood residents and queer and transgender (trans) youth of color, often homeless, who come to Boystown for the many services provided by its lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) nonprofit organizations, or queer spaces of care. While scholars have attended to community policing in Boystown through th…
Trans embodiment in carceral space: Hypermasculinity and the US prison industrial complex
Queer geographers have recently begun to examine the lives of transgender persons, a heretofore gap in the literature. This article examines the experiences of incarcerated trans persons in the USA, thus extending this nascent trans geography work by considering a new population in a new space. As some scholarly and activist research has shown over the last decade or so, US trans persons are incarcerated at a disproportionately high rate and face…
