Trans/forming Pregnancy
It is often assumed that only cis women experience pregnancy. This fails to account for the trans and nonbinary people who are and have been pregnant, and therefore presents a partial picture of what pregnancy is, how pregnancy is experienced, and the conceptual and normative issues that surround having a pregnancy.

Queerness is an ideality ... an ideality that can be distilled from the past and used to imagine a future.” Queerness, continues Muñoz, “is a longing that propels us onward ... Queerness is essentially about the rejection of the here an…
