tapping the sign
The footnote from @badinfinity2.bsky.social's Glorious Bodies seems particularly relevant.... (2/2)

fwiw I think my chapter on Trans Mayhem in Samson Agonistes is the best thing I've ever written
"This chapter argues that within Milton’s closet play is a quiet celebration of trans mayhem, an account of wounding that embraces rather than recoils from vulnerability, one that rejects 'usefulness' and 'employment' as metrics for assigning value to bodies."

Wow, @badinfinity2.bsky.social’s suggestion (command?) to transition just became a lot cheaper and more accessible, if this is true!

I believe that queer and trans people deserve everything, including religion (if they want it)!
This podcast interview with @badinfinity2.bsky.social about his book Glorious Bodies made me realize we're missing opportunities to interpret queerness *with* religion instead the typical opposition narrative (or more typical: ommission with the assumption of opposition). slate.com/podcasts/out...

So glad I decided to go hard and attend the first day of the Early Modern Trans Studies conference today *after* the RSA / SAA twofer! It was a joy to see so many terrific papers and hang w the (rapidly expanding) premodern trans studies crew - and to taste the @badinfinity2.bsky.social book cake 🎂

Thank you @badinfinity2.bsky.social for the lovely book & the kind note. It truly couldn't have come at a better time - the prior auth for my hysterectomy was just approved!

I love trans community so dearly.
