AUGH i love reading trans academic literature
#started reading transfeminist perspectives (edited by anne enke) from and im not far in whatsoever and already so enamoured#it came out in 2012 so im thinking its going to be interesting put into the context of being right in the middle of where she posits the#start of transgender studies is (1991) and present time. like she mentions‚ the language of trans studies changes so quickly!#[trans] is not simply a noun. [...] it is a motion anticipating a second; it enacts‚ it continues with a question‚ and a star.#i love that. i think the use of 'trans-' and 'trans*' has slightly fallen out the wayside (except for maybe 101 places? but i dont hang in#those spaces anymore) but i think thats such a lovely way of putting that. okay back to reading.#also its kind of exciting on a more egoistic level to be read academic literature and be able to. you know. understand what theyre saying.#maybe itll get harder as i get more into the weeds of the book but i am happy im grasping some of the more esoteric/academic language.#always a fear!#ALSO. ITS SO COOL TO START RECOGNIZING NAMES THAT GET BROUGHT UP. I HAVE TO ACTUALLY READ THE PERSISTENT DESIRE. JOAN NESTLE.........#<- they have it at my schools library and i checked it out once its just... video games are so fun to play...#and if im reading academia all day even if it gets a little less formal in terms of language its still just too exhausting to read#as to why im reading this while on break from school! hooray!
