Testosterone is framed as a means for transgender men to align their external ‘female’ bodies with their internal male genders because it is positioned by medical and social logics as a kind of distilled masculinity. While recognising both the ways that trans men always already subvert and usurp these logics, the coherence of these logics is further undercut when assigned female at birth non-binary people, who do not feel themselves to be men, are, in increasing numbers, using exogenous testosterone. Using qualitative interviews with seven non-binary people, this article grapples with the desire of these participants to use testosterone, without being tied to masculinity, maleness or men. In this article, I first focus on how these participants re-formed testosterone as a substance that can unmake, rather than confirm gender. Secondly, I look at how their use of testosterone rejects the centrality of an alignment between an internal gender and an external body. And finally, in turning to the process of ‘coming out as a testosterone user’ I explore how one participant asserted themselves not as a concrete and clear identity, but rather as a self in action. All three negotiations point to new logics of what testosterone is and could be, how it arises and moves with gender, and how these selves may begin to exist in new and novel ways.","PeriodicalId":43420,"journal":{"name":"Somatechnics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48751088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On YouTube, vloggers can present images and videos of their bodies as they document their gender transitions through several practices that rely on temporality and time-space compression. As a genre, time-lapse videos comprise creative worldmaking practices where users document their gender transformations using hundreds to thousands of still photos or video segments which show their social, somatic, and biochemical changes. Although scholars have discussed different worldmaking and community organising practices that take place as trans vloggers display their gendered subjectivities online, there is sparse scholarship studying the recurrent patterns of behaviour on the comment space below these videos. In this article, I draw on critical discourse analytic studies of new media and stance-taking as I review and analyse discriminatory strategies – principally misgendering and ungendering – that YouTubers used to denigrate the self-identified gender of a given vlogger. Stance-taking enables us to identify and track reoccurring attitudes steeped in cisgenderism. At the same time, capturing how vloggers and trans allies respond to (intentional or unintentional) text-based forms of prejudice, can create teachable moments for YouTube spectators. While misgendering stances aim to pressure their targets into certain kinds of gender and sex embodiments, insurrectionary stance-acts co-opt and call out the language of discrimination, lending legitimacy and authority to trans vloggers to create, enact, and live their own genders.","PeriodicalId":43420,"journal":{"name":"Somatechnics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3366/SOMA.2019.0264","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48855530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
