Jacob Hale's “Suggested Rules for Non-transsexuals Writing about Transsexuals, Transsexuality, Transsexualism, and Trans___” (1997) to reflect on the nature of accountability to and within trans communities. Against the backdrop of interviews with Hale and his thought partners for the piece (e.g., Talia Bettcher, Jack Halberstam, and Naomi Scheman), Zurn draws out the historical context of the “Rules,” but also the affective, theoretical, and political frictions (and intimacies) that underlie them. Generated in the late 1990s scene of trans theory and activism, Hale's “Rules” were more than a corrective to cis-centric “positions” on trans people circulating at the time (esp. by Bernice Hausman); they were also a testament to friendship, as well as to the philosophical insights of María Lugones, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Sandy Stone. Although written for non-trans writers, it was Hale's intention that the “Rules” also apply in trans-trans contexts. Indeed, in a world today where trans people are in fact leading trans studies, Hale's injunctions to humility in our approach to trans* peoples and to faith in the existing wisdom of trans life is prescient. So is his invitation to theorize on the rough ground of living and struggling together.","PeriodicalId":44767,"journal":{"name":"TSQ-Transgender Studies Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86009127","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}

Through a Black feminist imperative, this essay calls on trans studies to refuse the necropolitical logics that assume all the progenitors of the ballroom scene have died. In revisiting the rich cultural archive of the house-structured ballroom scene, such as the 1982 film T.V.

The first is a qualified recommitment to trans studies' partial global turn with a fervently anticolonial edge that recognizes the basic coloniality of trans as category. The second is a practice of historical political economy that can situate contemporary transness within longue durée colonial histories of class formation, social relation, and capital accumulation. Taken in tandem, these approaches demonstrate the need for scholarship that denaturalizes the category of trans and reinterrogates its economic and scholarly value if trans studies is to find a future that addresses its much-critiqued Eurocentrism and whiteness.","PeriodicalId":44767,"journal":{"name":"TSQ-Transgender Studies Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76908176","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}

While traditional inquiry into the history of philosophy proposes an interminable opposition between phenomenology and discourse analysis, Henry Rubin's alternative suggestion is that within the domain of trans studies these methods are complementary. Discourse analysis and phenomenology converge in trans studies because they are submitted to the same ethical and political imperative: the systematic development of the trans archive. Both discourse analysis and phenomenology as methods in trans studies are directed toward the development of a genuinely trans history, perspective, and theory, with special methodological consideration of the way that this perspective is misunderstood or obscured by dominant frameworks within cisgender society. In what follows, the author provides a brief reconstruction of two major interventions in trans phenomenology, demonstrating that each is carefully concerned with distinctly archival considerations. The author further argues that each project remains unfinished because of an incomplete bracketing of medicalized cisgender concepts. The article then proposes a brief alternative program aimed at the full suspension of cisgender categories that the author calls transgender existentialism.","PeriodicalId":44767,"journal":{"name":"TSQ-Transgender Studies Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77475798","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}

Yet buried here is a trans sex worker's history. What did it take for the contemporary South Korean trans community and trans studies globally to become detached from Camptown sex workers' knowledge and sociality? How has a certain universalized understanding of transness in trans studies alienated scholarship from Camptown sex workers' knowledge and blocked us South Koreans from positioning ourselves in the conventional trans genealogy?
