Looking for Pauli, Pauli Murray's Trans Poetics
Pauli Murray was a twentieth-century Black writer, priest, and legal thinker who has been, for the last two decades or so, the subject of a recovery project. As a result, Murray is now regarded as a crucial player in the history of civil rights litigation; in US feminist organizing and theology; and in Black feminist critique in relation to all of the above. Further, the recovery of Murray's contributions has coincided with the narration of Murra…

I feel like I'm the only one with this problem-a gay man in a woman's bodyand so alone, so left out.I gather Jack Garland's remnants with delight + think of his life compared to mine + it does make me feel better.But not much.-Lou Sullivan, We Both Laughed in Pleasure "What are you going to say to Ed?"

Before Trans Studies
In conversation with Emmett Harsin Drager and Andrea Long Chu's “After Trans Studies,” this collaborative essay also turns to questions of field formation and the ethos of trans studies. Situating the growth of the field in the material conditions of precarity under which trans knowledge-workers work, the authors argue that trans studies can't be “over” because, in fact, it isn't yet here. Rather than viewing this as only a dismal proposition, ho…
She of the Pants and No Voice”
This essay turns to two familiar figures in the transgender archive—Lou Sullivan and Jack Bee Garland—to think about the potentials of trans/crip conjunctions. The author offers a recuperative reading of Sullivan's biography of Garland, From Female to Male: The Life of Jack Bee Garland, as not an impaired (but useful) work of historical recovery but an aesthetic object marked indelibly by Garland's cripped transmasculinity. More specifically, it …

Trans, Feminism: Or , Reading like a Depressed Transsexual: Winner of the 2017 Catharine Stimpson Prize for Outstanding Feminist Scholarship
Trans and feminism, it seems, are caught in a continually reiterated conflict. Reading this conflict as being motivated by the desire for an integrated theory of gender that is undermined by the perhaps irresolvable political desires of each field, this essay is interested in how the expression of this failure of integration is articulated (on both “sides”) as a feeling of being annihilated and the displacement of these bad feelings onto the othe…
