Absolutely. Agency is sometimes found in small moments, brief actions, but it's there & it matters. What's the metaphor? The tiniest grains of sand can grind a massive, rumbling machine to a halt.

2/2 #Queer and #trans celebratory #literacies are possible. And, if they werenโt critically important, there wouldnโt be so many laws/policies/efforts trying to stop that work. Sending warm and caring thoughts to all.

2/3 A6: #Queer and #trans affirming work is necessary & life-saving in education, and #literacies offer ways to do this work even within restrictive contexts. YOU CAN DO THIS WORK, and that work MATTERS more than EVER.

1/3 A6: I think the most important strategy is to understand that you *CAN* #queer #literacies, no matter #context. You *DO* have #agency to challenge taken-for-granted norms, to push for thinking in new, disruptive, potentially uncomfortable ways.

Completely agree. And standardized testing (& enforcement of standardization) perpetuate this issue. But centering uncertainty & discomfort can be useful for teachers & students, and it ruptures many of the assumptions & mandates--without moving into explicitly "illegal" territory.

That's key, I think: whose discomfort? Marginalized students/teachers are perpetually uncomfortable. Centering discomfort reshapes classroom spaces & learning in ways that can be productive for all, in new and disruptive ways.

2/3 A5: #Literacies that ask students โWhat makes you uncomfortable, unsure?โ are generative & invite topics/discussions that veer outside of scripted curricula & censorship efforts.
