MAKING COMMUNITY: THE PLACES AND15 SPACES OF LGBTQ COLLECTIVE IDENTITY FORMATION Christina B. Hanhardt Introduction In the summer of 2012, posters reading "MORE GRINDR=FEWER GAY BARS” appeared taped to signposts in numerous gay neighborhoods in North America—from Greenwich Village in New York City to Davie Village in Vancouver, Canada.1 The signs expressed a brewing fear: that the popularity of online lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) social media—like Grindr, which connects gay men based on proximate location—would soon replace the bricks-and-mortar institutions that had long facilitated LGBTQ community building.

MAHONEY* HEATHER BRYDIE HARRIS** INTRODUCTION In a closed-door forum on July 11, 2017, United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions invoked Martin Luther King, Jr. in a speech given to and in support of the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), an anti- LGBT religious freedom group responsible for crafting many early anti- transgender bathroom bills.1 Employing King, Sessions parallels the ra- cial civil rights struggle of the past to the current “important work” of the ADF—by representing a divine moral right that he suggests be pro- tected by the state.2 Besides the personal criticism of Sessions’ civil rights record by Coretta Scott King when he was nominated for federal judgeship in 1986,3 Sessions’ deployment of King seems paradoxical on © 2019 Antron D.

A Case Study Exploring the Agency of Black Lgbtq+ Youth In
A CASE STUDY EXPLORING THE AGENCY OF BLACK LGBTQ+ YOUTH IN NYC’S BALLROOM CULTURE By Shamari K. Reid Dissertation Committee: Professor Michelle Knight-Manuel, Sponsor Professor Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date 19 May 2021 . Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2021 ABSTRACT A CASE STUDY EXPLORING BLACK LGBTQ+ YOUTH IN NYC’s BALLROOM CULTURE Shamari K. Reid Recognizing the importance of context with regard to youth agency, this study explores how 8 Black LGBTQ+ youth understand their practices of agency in ballroom culture, an underground Black LGBTQ+ culture. Ballroom was chosen as the backdrop for this scholarly endeavor because it allowed for the study of the phenomenon — Black LGBTQ+ youth agency — in a space where the youth might feel more able to be themselves, especially given that the 2019 Black LGBTQ+ youth report published by the Human Rights Campaign revealed that only 35% of Black LGBTQ+ youth reported being able to “be themselves at school” (Kahn et al., 2019). Thus, instead of asking what is wrong with schools, this study inverted the question to explore what is “right” about ballroom culture in which Black LGBTQ+ youth might practice different kinds of agency due to their intersectional racial and LGBTQ+ identities being recognized and celebrated. Framed by the youth’s understanding of their own agency across different contexts, my research illuminates the complex interrelationships between youth agency, social identity, and context. Extending the literature on youth agency and Black LGBTQ+ youth, the findings of this study suggest that in many ways these youth are always already practicing agency to work toward different ends, and that these different end goals are greatly mediated by the contexts in which they find themselves.

Biographies of Janet Mock and Miss Major, Black Trans Women
Whalen Symposium Abstract – Award Consideration John Jacobson, Women’s and Gender Studies Word Count: 694, excluding title and bibliography #GirlsLikeUs: The Development of Femme Identities in the (Auto)biographies of Janet MoCk and Miss Major, BlaCk Trans Women Understanding the subjectivities oF black transgender women lies at the intersection oF multiple academic Fields. Revolutionaries such as Judith Butler, bell hooks and Kate Bornstein have all contributed to discourse surrounding transgender women oF color. To understand and humanize the subjectivities oF these women, there must be an interaction of gender theory, queer theory, queer of color critique, and black Feminism. Trans women oF color are routinely in the margins oF academic spaces because their lives are interactions of unique oppressed identities. This presentation puts the (auto)biographical lives and works (a memoir and documentary, respectively) oF two black trans women in context: Janet Mock, a young activist, author, and media maker, and Miss Major, an elderly activist whose liFe has spanned From Attica to Stonewall and beyond (Licona). It centers their stories through the black Feminist concept of “a healthy love for ourselves, our sisters and our community which allows us to continue our struggle and work” (Combahee River Collective). Through these methods oF black Feminist love, we can observe the ways Mock and Major have developed black trans Femme identities and how those identities are revolutionary. Mock and Major both establish self-love through their modes oF unique gender expression, the way they “become” women in the way that Simone de Beauvoir theorized through personal growth and gender expression. Their living oF this theory allows the idea oF womanhood, or Femme-central identity, to be a “process, a becoming, a constructing that cannot be rightfully said to originate or end” (Butler).

Sharing Economies and Affective Labour in Montréal's Kiki Scene
SERVING EACH OTHER: SHARING ECONOMIES AND AFFECTIVE LABOUR IN MONTRÉAL’S KIKI SCENE by Jess D. Lundy A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Women’s and Gender Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019, Jess D. Lundy Abstract Against a tense socio-political backdrop of white supremacy, intensifying pressures of neoliberal fiscal austerity, and queer necropolitics, this thesis addresses performance-based activist forms of place-making for urban-based queer, trans, and gender nonconforming communities of colour. Using participant observation and qualitative interviews with pioneering members of Montréal’s Kiki scene and Ottawa’s emerging Waacking community and interpreting my findings through the theoretical lens of queer of colour theory, critical whiteness studies, queer Latinx performance studies and Chicana feminism, I argue that Kiki subculture, which is maintained by pedagogical processes of ‘each one, teach one’, is instrumental in facilitating i) life-affirming queer kinship bonds, (ii) alternative ways to simultaneously embody and celebrate non- normative gender expression with Black, Asian, and Latinx identity, iii) non-capitalist economies of sharing, and iv) hopeful strategies of everyday community activism and resilience to appropriative processes during economic insecurity and necropolitical turmoil. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the members of Montréal’s Kiki scene and Ottawa’s Waacking founder for their willingness to participate in this study despite the understandable reflex to safe-guard their own. Secondly, I extend my sincerest gratitude to my thesis supervisor Dr. Dan Irving. Apart from disproving that you should never meet your heroes, Dr.

In this multi-authored reflection, the authors describe a series of three introductory activities in an undergraduate educational studies course aimed at cultivating critical consciousness about transgender students. The instructor and students discussed their viewing of televised interviews featuring transgender individuals and participated in a gallery walk and a role-playing activity. These activities cultivated students’ critical awareness of the experiences of transgender students and strategies for creating trans- inclusive classrooms and schools.

Kristine’s research and advocacy interests include multicultural competence with a focus on social privilege and gerontological counseling. East, Courtney R., MS, is a doctoral student in the Counselor Education and Supervision program at Auburn University. Courtney’s research and advocacy interests include LGBTQ+ needs with a focus on binary gender and transgender issues in counseling. Evans, Amanda M., PhD, LPC, NCC, is the Coordinator for the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program and an Assistant Professor in Special Education, Rehabilitation and Counseling Department (SERC) at Auburn University. Amanda’s research interests include counselor training and multicultural competence. Abstract Persons who are transgender are underrepresented in counselor education curriculum and programming. As a community that reports higher rates of discrimination, harassment, stereotyping, and systematic oppression, it is imperative that counselors are able to provide competent and ethical services to this neglected population. This manuscript reviews the current literature regarding persons who are transgender and addresses ally development in counselor education. Recommendations for counselor educators and allies are included. In February 2014, Janet Mock, a transgender woman of color, as well as a writer and activist, appeared on the Piers Morgan show. After the interview, Mock criticized Piers for consistently referring to her as formerly a man and exaggerating her identity as a person who is transgender (Nichols, 2014).

Transphobia in the Netflix Series When They See Us
© 2021 JETIR June 2021, Volume 8, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Transphobia in the Netflix Series When They See Us. Sreeparvathy M. S. Student, Int. M.A English Department of English and Languages Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Kochi Campus, India Dr. Sreelakshmi N. Assistant Professor (Sr. Gr.) and Research Guide Department of English and Languages Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Kochi Campus, India Abstract: This рарer fосuses on transphobia and how the character Marci Wise in When they see us lie victim to transphobia. Transphobia comes from people harassing or discriminating transgender mentally and physically because of the fact that they are uncomfortable or scared with their gender identities. For these people, or transphobes, any gender other than a cis-male of cis-female is wild and out of their imaginations. It has been found that transphobia can even create discrimination towards transgendered people in many ways of them being denied of jobs loans, housing, or health care just because of the fact that their gender identity is not matching up to the norms. It does not help the fact that transgenders are always on the look out for getting attacked, much like what happened to Korey Wise's sister, Marci wise in When They See Us. Some of the mental health issues that transgenders in common faces are paranoia, living in constant fear, isolation, depression, self hate, hopelessness, suicidal thoughts, and self disgust. As times goes on, the person would feel sad; disconnected from everything and everyone, an emptiness began to settle in their mind. In the fourth episode of When They See us, the viewers get a glimpse into the life of Korea Wise's transgender sister, Marci Wise.

Maybe, then, I will always be just an actor.”— Scott Turner Schofield, “Are We There Yet?” “What makes us so confident that we know what’s real?”—Jamison Green, Becoming a Visible Man Acting Cis Traditional actor training espouses “bodily unity,” or unobstructed access to all parts of the physiological (and expectedly able) body; anything else would be what Jerzy Grotowski calls “biological chaos.”1 A focus on bodily unity in actor training implies that an alternate, dysphoric, or oth- erwise non-normative embodied experience is “chaotic”—an obstacle to overcome, unhealthy and unwhole—and that embodied disconnections signify failure or lack. This attitude toward disjointedness, when applied to transgender embodiment, infers that trans people are nothing more than broken cisgender people.2 But the trans “whole” body offers an alternative conception of “wholeness,” one with empty spaces creating a fragmented human form. For trans men, that fragmentation localizes around the chest and pelvis, but the empty spaces that emerge there create healthier and more peaceful versions of embodiment for many trans people.
