Very big and very deserved award for @mlkrook.bsky.social — congrats! 👏
Research article entitled "Politics without Presence? The Symbolic Representation of Trans People in Germany and the Netherlands" by Anne Louise Schotel and Liza Mügge. Abstract begins: Historically, trans people have been excluded from politics. Despite political under representation, trans interests increasingly appear on the political agenda in the Netherlands and Germany. In 2021, trans women were elected to the Dutch and German parliaments for the first time. However, increased trans visibility is accompanied by backlash and transphobia. The political representation of trans people does not follow a familiar pattern from elected descriptive representatives to increased substantive representation of interests. What mechanisms shape the political representation of trans people? We argue that symbolic representation shapes possibilities for descriptive and substantive representation of trans people.
🏆 Winner of this year's Best Article Prize 🏆
@alschotel.bsky.social & @lizamugge.bsky.social use of qualitative text analysis paired with in-depth interviews bring out critical insights into trans symbolic representation in 🇩🇪 & 🇳🇱 parliaments.
