Note that 'transing' is italicised, perhaps for emphasis, perhaps because W&B are introducing a foreign term, 'transing' not belonging to the Derridean lexicon until now. The translators are promising to translate Derrida into the language of contemporary #TransStudies and vice versa.

"Beyond the Coloniality of Gender: María Lugones, Sylvia Wynter, Decolonial Feminism, and Trans and Intersex Liberation," by Alex Adamson. Abstract: This article explores Sylvia Wynter’s analysis of gender as a category differentially applied across the global color line and María Lugones’ account of the coloniality of gender. While Wynter’s and Lugones’s work offer consequential insights for queer, trans, and intersex studies and activism, they have deliberately engaged these particular discourses and histories of struggle in limited ways. Wyn- ter analyzes the contradictions of Western feminists’ organizing against female genital cutting in Africa, but she does not link her conclusions to their ramifica- tions for activism against genital cutting on children deemed intersex. Lugones uses the existence of intersex people as a turning point in her critique of Aníbal Quijano when developing her concept of the coloniality of gender, but she does not go further to connect global intersex activism and decolonial feminist struggles. This article explores the work of Wynter and Lugones for their compatibility with trans and intersex studies and activism, and the places where their work can be furthered through insights from trans and intersex studies. It concludes that to move beyond the coloniality of gender requires trans and intersex liberation and that trans and intersex liberation must be understood in a broader decolonial feminist framework. Keywords: decolonial feminism, Sylvia Wynter, María Lugones, trans studies, intersex studies

This is a great article by Alex Adamson for Philosophy and Global Affairs that bridges trans studies, intersex studies, and decolonial feminism.

Das Bild enthält eine Collage aus Text und Bild. Das enthaltene Bild zeigt einen der Schreibtische von Xenia Müller, der verschiedene Gegenstände beinhaltet: geöffnete und geschlossene Bücher, Notizpapiere und Stifte, einen Rechner mitsamt Bildschirm, Maus und Tastatur, eine Wasserflasche, einen Schal, diverses Geschirr, Bluetooth-Kophörer, eine Kanne. Die enthaltenen Textinhalte sind identisch mit den im Posting mitgelieferten Textinhalten.

Das Bild zeigt folgenden Zitatauszug aus dem Genderblog-Beitrag von Xenia Müller: "Dass keiner meiner Schreibtische jemals leer ist, empfinde ich als Geschenk. Auf ihnen finden sich Gedanken, die ich mir für die Zukunft notiert habe, Materialien aus prägenden Seminaren meines Studiums, Stapel von Büchern und zahllose PDF-Dateien. Sie erinnern mich daran, dass wissenschaftliches Arbeiten nie bei null beginnt, sondern immer schon von etwas getragen wird, das es ermöglicht, weiterzumachen. Auch, wenn dieses ‚Weitermachen‘ nicht selbstverständlich ist."

Neu im Genderblog erschienen: #MeinSchreibtisch. Ein Beitrag von Xenia Müller.

Abstract of the text: “Flipped Examination Room – Ascriptions of Vulnerability Between Trans Patients and Their Healthcare Providers" by Felix L. Ihrig (Department of Sociology, University of Vienna, Austria), Flora Löffelmann (Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna, Austria), Jojo Steininger (Clinical Division of Paediatric Pulmonology, Allergology and Endocrinology, Medical University of Vienna, Austria) in the European Journal of Health Communication. Abstract: The history of pathologisation has left traces in trans healthcare contexts, especially barriers to receiving healthcare. These can be explained with theories of biopower—the disciplining of non-normative bodies, which often results in breached boundaries and repudiation of agency. Embedded in frameworks of Institutional Ethnography and Community-Based Participatory Research, we analysed recordings from one trans Community Team discussion (N = three) and one training session for healthcare providers (HCPs; N = eight) with Charmaz’ Grounded Theory. In this exploratory phase of an ongoing research project, we investigated current practices and underlying beliefs about “trans-sensitive healthcare” in Austria. By depicting trans patients as vulnerable, some HCPs practice benevolent pathologisation. Yet, negotiations of intimacy and responsibility along with power imbalances can render both parties vulnerable. HCPs’ own vulnerability frequently stems from knowledge gaps and expectations concerning expertise and authority. We conclude that a caring and transparent approach to contextual vulnerabilities in interactions between trans patients and HPCs is paramount. The notion of caring encounters, where being uncertain is not a flaw but a mere fact of human existence, is a transformative perspective. By offering their support to HCPs, trans people extend their circle of care and imagine a society built on compassion.

Abstract of the text: "On the backs of others. Negotiations of trans solidarity in sociology and activism" by Felix Lene Ihrig, Boka En, Flora Löffelmann, Surya Monro, River Újhadbor in The European Sociologist. Panics and negotiations For this text to come into existence, ‘intricate negotiations of solidarity’ had to become not only our topic but our ‘doing’ as well. To be able to write about it, we had to ask ourselves what solidarity might entail and what its differing yet overlapping interpretations in academia and activism might mean. By presenting our reflections here, we want to bring those two areas together and pass our questions on to readers who are involved in sociology, especially those who work on trans topics. Specifically, we ask how the rights of some members of marginalised groups are played off against those of other marginalised people. We ask about how moral panics concerning sex and gender are implicated in these processes in sociological research and academic work. Finally, we ask what epistemic duties we as social researchers may have in the face of marginalisation and injustice.
