It is true that life is unfortunately nasty, brutish, and short for too many trans siblings around the world–but too often, our arguments for trans rights are framed only around alleviating our suffering.

Trans suicide and murder rates. […]

by Olga Plakhotnik and Maria Mayerchyk

Queer Festival in Kherson (Ukraine), 2021. Photo credit: Stanislav Ostrous. Published with permission from the author.

    From Discourses to Actors: How Analyzing the Christian Right Can Further Our Understanding of Anti-gender Mobilization

From Discourses to Actors: How Analyzing the Christian Right Can Further Our Understanding of Anti-gender Mobilization
