These forms also make space for other identities traditionally excluded from mainstream cultural narrative spaces, and we’re …

On Being Trans: Narrative, Identity, Performance, And Community, Chloe Jo Brown

The three chapters of my thesis address some of the traditional milestones of a trans person’s acculturation: coming out, constructing one’s newly discovered trans identity, and finding community.
