Funnily enough this is also the step-by-step process for researching mathematics

Curious, one of the things I had to learn when transitioning was that it was okay to acknowledge that I had any needs at all and could choose to prioritize them.

Absolutely amazing work. Your analysis of the academic literature on the hijra almost sounded too familiar to me. I wonder if anyone has written a similar analysis of the (similarly ideologically motivated) literature on south american travestis.

As a brazilian transsexual dyke who similarly suffered the closet alone and escaped (by leveraging material privileges) the worst of what latam society has to throw at travestis, the personal remarks in the conclusion made me tear up. At least I know maybe someone shares my anger.

I can't believe I took so long to read this. Talia writes so well and describes so precisely the cores of both (global) transmisoginy and the rot at the heart of queer academia. She makes it all so obvious, it feels like it should have already been written.

A desi woman at a protest, framed by rainbow flags and wearing a red saree, holds up a sign that says "Hijras Are Women". It is the cover image for Talia Bhatt's essay "The Third Sex", subtitled: "'The Gender Binary' is a misnomer; gender has always been a hierarchy."

After months of research and painstakingly connecting the threads of transmisogyny theory, queer activism, and field-wide epistemic injustice, I would like to present "The Third Sex": my treatise on a third-world transfeminism.
