The amazing @RachelCleves on how 'drag' fit squarely into mainstream conservative culture of the 19th & 20th C. as elite, straight, white men commonly 'cross-dressed' to mock social subordinates. So why suddenly ban drag today? Because those 'subordinates' have taken the reins 💅

@JameyJesperson begins her incredible paper on 'Trans Misogyny in the Colonial Archive' with a land acknowledgement. She then introduces us to the theoretical concept of 're-membering', which is central to her work.

I was transfixed by Jamey's incredibly moving, compassionate, thoroughly researched paper that I put my phone down and listened to every single word. I'm sorry there aren't more tweets, but this was too important, too compelling to miss. Jamey Jesperson is a wonderful scholar.

Queer space: Lucretia and Kitty spend the majority of 'On the Threshold' encased in the safe space of their 'spinster flat'. This is an important locale throughout the novel - it grants Lucretia and Kitty independence.

Tasha moves on to discuss the idea of 'romantic friendship', which listeners may be familiar with from their reading of Henry James's 'The Bostonians'. Key theoretical texts on this concept include Marcus and Faderman.

Not only does trans misogyny have a history, but it's been intimately tied to the colonization of the "Americas," where 85% of trans murders take place today
Join me Monday as we 're-member' trans feminine lives in the colonial archive ❤️ Register below:
