Borrowed from their linguistic function, diphthongs may point to a trans methodology. On a page, diphthongs seem to be the crystallized image of a transition. Yet, as elements of a sentence or a word, they are not necessarily read as a unit. Depending on the context and the function that they serve at the moment they appear, diphthongs take on many different forms. This piece considers the ways in which a diphthong may be viewed as a metaphor for multiplicity within a single body and the implications it may have in the future of trans studies.","PeriodicalId":44767,"journal":{"name":"TSQ-Transgender Studies Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135146236","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}

This short article surveys some of this work in order to mark how it might orient future trans scholarship. A renewed attention to Marxist critique can provide tools for charting the flourishing of trans life and the forces that work to dispossess it.","PeriodicalId":44767,"journal":{"name":"TSQ-Transgender Studies Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135146238","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}

Drawing on trans of color theory, television studies, and Latinx studies, this article argues that Valentina's queer nonbinary racialized televisual persona—which includes, for instance, her iconic lip-synch, mask-wearing faux pas, or campy telenovela moments—enacts aesthetic and performative tactics that defy demands for capitalist productivity, minoritized respectability and professionalism, and racial uplift. The article examines how a trans/queer Mexican American drag queen like Valentina, herself a televisual spectacle, defies discourses structured around debating good versus bad representation, a binary that hamstrings much of the scholarship on Latinx people on television by remixing Latinx stereotypes such as the Latina spitfire with trans/queer possibilities. This torquing of stereotypes centers trans/queer racialized Latinx joy, pleasure, and humor, activating worlds hospitable to trans/queer of color living and thriving.","PeriodicalId":44767,"journal":{"name":"TSQ-Transgender Studies Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77404388","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}

Bringing the interwoven histories of mental disability and trans experience to bear on HIV/AIDS, the author argues that HIV has long served as a racialized weapon of the state to subjugate neurodivergent and gender variant people, especially those of color. The AIDS crisis, following the rise of antipsychotics in psychiatry, offered the medical industrial complex and the criminal punishment system a new opportunity to surveil and control disabled and trans populations. In addition to racializing gender variance and neurodivergence as threats to white supremacy, the state could now use HIV to justify incarcerating neurotrans people, although carceral spaces, such as hospitals, mental institutions, and prisons, are largely responsible for facilitating HIV transmission. Drawing on the life and activism of Black mad and trans activist Marsha P. Johnson, this essay illuminates the entanglement of mental disability and gender nonconformance and the necessity to center mental disability in trans studies, prioritize neurodivergent people in HIV prevention efforts, and advocate for the participation and leadership of neurotrans people in AIDS activism.","PeriodicalId":44767,"journal":{"name":"TSQ-Transgender Studies Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86762080","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}

When mobilized in the service of depicting trans* experience, the specificity of the medium can generate deep empathy for trans* lives, an important ethical objective, especially in a society in which trans* lives are under attack. Through close formal analysis, this article shows how the 1997 film Ma vie en rose accomplishes this project by cinematically aligning film spectators with a transgender child's audiovisual perception. Ma vie en rose immerses the film spectator in Ludovic's fantasy world where they are completely accepted as they are, inspiring the spectator to become personally invested in Ludovic's well-being, and potentially contributing to a real-world social environment that fosters livable lives for gender-nonconforming children.","PeriodicalId":44767,"journal":{"name":"TSQ-Transgender Studies Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89345315","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}

This article examines this question to understand how transgender identity is legally constructed in gender-segregated spaces. Using trans feminist legal theory, this article explores how the state conceptualizes and re/incorporates transness in a binary gender order. Through case studies of access to gender transition in gender-segregated educational and carceral spaces, the authors find that judges engage in gender naturalization work to legally construct transgender identity in ways that reinforce sexist conceptualizations of immutable and binary gender. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of this narrow construction of transgender identity for a trans feminist jurisprudence and politics.","PeriodicalId":44767,"journal":{"name":"TSQ-Transgender Studies Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77690221","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}
