#transstudies — Public Fediverse posts

#Introduction as I'm #newhere and just moved over from @[email protected]
This is my first experience with Sharkey, so pls don't mind me fucking tings up once in a while.

#disclaimers
Probably needless to say on this instance, but:
If you're transphobic, a transmisogynist, or respectlessly deadname trans-people to satisfy your unicellular lowlife … fuck off right here, thank you.

#datasheet
I'm a #neuroqueer #transfem PhD #catgirl researcher in music sociology (qualitative social research but also a bit of quantitative). My research interests (among others) are #clubculture , #electronicdancemusic , #queerstudies / #transstudies / #genderstudies and I'm certified #nerdy on my field of research, still doing cultural work here and there. Apart from wasting time on paid work, I try to focus exclusively on my PhD and queer/trans* community work.

Reading theory gets me excited, reading manuals doesn't. Love/hate THT, SMD, µC. I'm #aroace but interested in certain kinks … also gladly providing tlc for lab gear, vintage studio electronics, synths, drum machines, obsolete media.

Hmm … what else? I do #HRT and occasionally waste time keeping hosted FOSS software up & running. Albeit having a graphic design background I prefer shells to GUIs, had my first CCC meetup at #34c3 and, unsurprisingly, I dislike Big Tech/platform/surveillance capitalism. I'm genuinely and diagnosed autistic, small talk isn't my cup of tea but, hmu on bespoke topics and you'll get properly infodumped … hehe.

Geschlecht ist keine Identität und kein Gefühl, sondern eine körperliche Tatsache. Transgeschlechtlichkeit ist ein realer Konflikt, der nicht allein durch Genderperformance lösbar ist.

#TransStudies slash #QueerStudies scholars: do you have a fave paper on queer tokenism and representation?

My go-to for discussing the harms of tokenism is Davis, E. (2016). Typecasts, tokens, and spokespersons: A case for credibility excess as testimonial injustice. Hypatia, 31(3), 485-501 https://www.jstor.org/stable/44076488 — it is a brilliant paper, but I'd like to have something specifically about queer/trans folk if it exists

I'm at an amazing event on trans performance involving both artists and scholars and you could be catching it too, because it's being streamed on Youtube https://youtube.com/live/O-fYfDbHV2k

Sind digitale wissenschaftliche Publikationen einmal online, können sie nicht einfach so geändert werden. Und trotzdem muss genau das manchmal sein. Beim Open Gender Journal haben wir uns intensiv damit beschäftigt, wie wir mit unterschiedlichen Fehlerarten umgehen: kleine Fehler, wissenschaftliches Fehlverhalten und falsche personenbezogenen Angaben wie Pronomen oder Vornamen.

Die Ergebnisse könnt ihr jetzt im Blog der DINI AGs nachlesen: Kathrin Ganz & Sabrina Schotten: "Integrität im wissenschaftlichen Publizieren: Der Ansatz des Open Gender Journals zu Artikeländerungen".

What I want to know is, what prude decided to call it ‘Lavender Languages & Linguistics 30’ and not LavLang XXX? 🤔

I for one will certainly be bringing some XXX research next August in Brighton (and I expect @mixosaurus will be involved too)

Who else is joining?

My digital project commission for the San José Museum of Art opens today! The work is titled “The Fog” and is centered around the politics of knowledge making, data collection, and trans visibility through an exploration of fog as a common subject/trope of horror narratives as well as metaphor used in military strategy. It can be viewed here:

I don't live-toot as much as I should, and this seminar on #CrossDressing and escort work in contemporary Japan seems like a great opportunity

Hello!

I am an artist and professor of Creative Technologies at Virginia Tech. In my work, I focus on the ways technologies of visualization and control intersect with and threaten #trans lives.

I work in #creativecode, #sculpture, #writing, #artistbooks, and more. Lately I have been doing a lot of #webdev for my projects and in my teaching.

Earlier this year, I combined my #HTML / #CSS / #JavaScript teaching resources into a single (free and open) site that I am really proud of:

https://byhand.website

I am also interested in #horror, #scifi, #solarpunk, #permacomputing, #historyoftechnology, #transstudies, #maps, #archives, #zines, and #ttrpgs.

She introduced me to Leibphenonemonology.

what are peoples' approaches to citation when it comes to working with bigoted 'grey literature'? currently writing about the convergence of anti-child ableism/cissexism in "mommy blogs" and wondering how best to like...do my due diligence re: citation without giving greater voice to genocidal rhetoric. #academicmastodon #academicchatter #TransStudies #disabilitystudies
