So proud of my undergraduate student Azul who presented her research at @elonuniversity.bsky.social’s Summer Undergraduate Research Experience poster session yesterday!

It's a weird time to be doing very trans research, but I'm grateful to be in community with so many great scholars working on trans linguistics -- some gathered in the latest issue of Gender and Language: utppublishing.com/toc/gl/18/3

It lists three titles: "Cultivating trans linguistics: Creativity and contestation" by Cedar Brown, deandre miles-hercules, and Lal Zimman; "Interrogating the cisgender listening subject in the study of trans voices" by J Calder and Ariana Steele; and "Misgender or out yourself: Vulnerability in pronoun sharing practices" by Cedar Brown.

Got to hang out at a Trans Day of Joy event yesterday with Haley Kinsler from NCSU and talk about how cool trans language is!!
Haley and Archie, two white trans people, stand behind a table that has flyers, lots of buttons, and candy strewn about. A poster that says “What are your favorite things about trans language?” In a big bubble, with answers such as “no one can stop us from expanding it” written on it. At the bottom is says “Durham Trans Day of Joy”

A partner is taking a stats class and they sent me this pic from the textbook…tag yourself, I’m a data entry error
A picture of a textbook page. The first bullet point says “…scores that are out of the possible range (for example, if you coded males as 1 and females as 2, any score that is not a 1 or 2 is likely due to a data entry error).”
