In the year that U.S. state legislators introduced a record-breaking number of anti-trans bills (with 47 in Texas alone), transgender writers, artists, and activists have also worked tirelessly and imaginatively to shift narratives about and around trans people. From Imara Jones’s TransLash Media, to the Transgender Education Network of Texas, to Dee Dee Watters’s continuation of Monica Roberts’s groundbreaking TransGriot, trans pathbreakers and collectives have worked to make space for trans people and to dismantle the conditions that endanger trans lives.
For this issue of QT Voices, we seek submissions on trans rhetorics—on the communicative practices that affect, reflect, and/or amplify trans experience. In the tradition of trans world-making, we welcome a wide expanse of genres and media including but not at all limited to: creative and/or essayistic writing, videos, sound-based media, visual art, and more. Accompanying photographs are also welcome and encouraged for all submissions. Written pieces should be short (<500 words) and addressed to a general audience. Past issues of QT Voices can be found at https://sites.utexas.edu/queerandtransvoices/.
Possible topics include:
- Transgender experiences and perspectives
- Trans-related art (or analyses of trans-related art)
- Trans and gender-variant histories
- The intersections of gender identity with race, class, migration, and disability
- Nonwestern experiences and/or representations of gender
- Trans activism
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: January 18, 2022
