📣 New Podcast! "“Cisgender” with Perry Zurn" on @Spreaker #cis #cisgender #cistem #cistheory #gender #gendernonconforming #genderstudies #nonbinary #queer #sexology #trans #transdiscourse #transgender #transhistory #transition #transstudies #transtheory
“Cisgender” with Perry Zurn
Who coined the term cis and why are some people calling it a slur? Amazing return guest Perry Zurn joins me to discuss what the concept of cis does, why it’s helpful to look at its origins and etymology and where it might oversimplify the project of gender. Not one to be missed!   References: Perry Zurn’s Cisgender: Disorienting a Category (Duke UP, 2026) Perry Zurn’s How We Make Each Other: Trans Life at the Edge of the University (Duke UP, 2024) John Hollister Riva Lehrer’s Golem Girl Marquis Bey’s Cistem Failure: Essays on Blackness and Cisgender (Duke UP, 2022) Stephanie Clare’s Nonbinary: A Feminist Autotheory (Cambridge UP, 2023) Jonathan Ned Katz’s The Invention of Heterosexuality (1995)   Questions you should be able to respond to after listening: -      What does cis mean? -      Which term is older: cis or trans? When does the term cis emerge? -      Which community coined the term cisgender and why? -      What is Perry saying about simplified notions of cis and which example does he give? -      How does Perry put disability and race in dialogue with cisness and transness?

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

"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

Cover of Abolitionist Intimacies: Queer and Trans Migrants Against the Deportation State by Eithne Luibheid. Features art by Karla Ross. The gradient background transitions from red-orange to golden-yellow. Surrounding the title text are illustrations of people in a wreath-like formation. The figures share edge-lines, which emphasizes their interconnectedness. At the top of the composition, two individuals hold broken chains above their heads. Small orange butterflies flutter among the people. At the bottom center of the composition, a monarch butterfly with a Black power fist in between its wings serves as a striking focal point.

/8 but the iterative shift is an approximation and normalization of language

this relates to coversations in transstudies about "transeffective modes" (as distinct from queer effective modes)
