“Being a trans PhD candidate in a philosophy department means that the best day I can imagine having is one where I feel a little hope.” [5/5] @autoanon.bsky.social #beingtransinphilosophy

#beingtransinphilosophy “means losing productivity because you let a trans friend stay on your couch for a month so she wouldn’t end up homeless again—because somehow, despite making 13k USD/yr, you are considerably more financially secure & more stably housed than most of the trans community.” 4/5

#beingtransinphilosophy “means scratching off the United Kingdom, and then the United States, as a possibility when you start your job market search. It means googling where else has English-language universities where you might have human rights.” [3/5] @autoanon.bsky.social

June 6, 2025 at 7:17 PM
“Being a trans grad student philosopher means being ignored -- by your department, by your supervisors. It means constantly wanting to beg and scream and fight and cry, but having to maintain a professional tone.” [1/5] @autoanon.bsky.social #beingtransinphilosophy

“Philosophy as a discipline should abandon the many ways it has coddled transphobic philosophers and equalize the role of gadfly rather than create a one-sided trial that trans people can never satisfy.” @amymarvin.bsky.social [5/6] #beingtransinphilosophy
June 4, 2025 at 8:07 PM
“If we want better philosophy spaces, we should aim to support trans philosophy as a kind of anti-hack philosophy.” @amymarvin.bsky.social [4/6] #beingtransinphilosophy
June 4, 2025 at 8:07 PM
“Transphobic philosophy is hack philosophy when it has been reduced from a form of inquiry to a mere tool of reactionary governance where the conclusions lead to premises and the argument is about justifying arbitrary state power.” @amymarvin.bsky.social [3/6] #beingtransinphilosophy
June 4, 2025 at 8:07 PM
“Transphobic philosophers frequently appeal to an aesthetics of clarity that disguises crank statements as a kind of culturally beautiful series of intuitions that may or may not reflect reality.” @amymarvin.bsky.social [2/6] #beingtransinphilosophy
June 4, 2025 at 8:07 PM
“In comedy spaces, I think we would call transphobic philosophy a kind of hack philosophy.” @amymarvin.bsky.social [1/6] #beingtransinphilosophy

“When [my tween] socially transitioned in the second grade, years ago now, other kids in the class didn’t blink an eye. Zero bullying. Now bullies run the show—in dominant online spaces in our discipline, in our state legislature, in the U.S. government.” @beegs1.bsky.social #beingtransinphilosophy
