Ok I'm intrigued. 🤔 Do you have a specific idea in mind or is it more depending on who you are writing it with?

The cover of a zine. At the top right is the word "fluid" below which there is a black and white drawing of a person with their head back and their hands pulling open their chest. Below the image is the text "a look at gender and sexuality"

A photo of the archive indexing page for the zine "My words to Victor Frankenstein above the village of Chamounix: Performing transgender rage" by Susan Stryker

A photo of a page from the Susan Stryker zine. On the page is an image of the bride of Frankenstein with text above it. The text reads "rage colors me as it presses in through the pores of my skin, soaking in until it becomes the blood that courses through my beating heart. It is a rage bred by the necessity of existing in external circumstances that work against my survival"

I always love the #TransArchive open house and this year I found something for my #MonsterTheory obsessed soul! #MTHF25

seeing people (americans) be kind of blown away by the fact that the martial law solders in korea were armed and yet, as far as we know, not a single person was shot and it's really making me realize how conditioned we are to accept fatal violence against our own citizens as a foregone conclusion.

I’m so happy I get to walk people in rooms I had to fight my way into. The goal is to always make it easier for the people after me

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage.

Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy

Splitting Attraction: Differentiating Romantic and Sexual Orientations Among Asexual Individuals - Canton Winer, 2024 It is often assumed that sexual and romantic attractions are aligned: that the gender(s) a person is attracted to sexually “matches” the gender(s) to which they...

Distinguishing between sexual and romantic orientations is common in asexual communities... yet there's no research specifically about the split attraction model.

Until now!

I just published a study in Social Currents about split attraction. You can read it here:

Thank goodness I can say cis on Bluesky!

My new article is just out: "Towards a Theory of Cis-Supremacy: Conceptualising Ongoing Barriers to Trans Equality".

It examines forces of cis power over trans communities, building on scholarship on white supremacy

This week has been a deeply worrying one for much of our community. JCMS is committed to equity & social justice. Scholars from marginalized groups or whose research has been underrepresented in the journal, consider applying to the Publishing Initiative:

Assuming all fanfiction is written poorly really just shows you've never been caught in the chokehold of a 150k slowburn that changed the course of your life at 2:40am written by someone whose username has 4 Zs in it and they only wrote one fic and then vanished like an ethereal legend.

Remember, it’s ok to not know all the answers… that’s exactly why you’re researching them!

✨️There is never a time when it's okay to wilfully misgender someone.✨️

✨️Correct pronouns are not a reward for being good.✨️

Today's gender has a headache and won't be coming into the office today.

Reskeet if you like trans people 🏳️‍⚧️

Today's gender went into the void.
