Queeries: On Transphobia

✨ in response to the rise of anti-trans policies around the world

Short & sweet, because it really isn’t a debate:

Transphobia and transmisogyny are borne out of the fear of change—anti-trans politics, policies, and laws don't erase the fact that trans people exist.

The survival and thrivance of trans people proves that gender is a fluid performance full of discovery and opportunity and growth and joy, not a rigid, violently exclusionary binary that narrowly dictates how life should and should not be lived.

The flexibility and radical acceptance of change that transness signifies is something the field of architecture—and design, more broadly—should embrace—not only to design more inclusively / for trans people, but also to respond to the climate crisis, late capitalism, and ongoing injustices around the world.

That’s it for now! I’ve been protecting my peace. I hope you’ve found some, wherever you are.

Thanks for reading. Until next time! ✨
