Trans Embodiment: Notes on Building a House You Don’t Want to Live In
Exploring narratives of trans embodiment as a journey home, this article offers a conceptual reading of the trans body as an archive built and performed in ways that make it compatible with the dominant discourses that govern its narrative. Drawing on personal narratives, the article then offers individual and alternative ways of building one’s home in the pursuit of one’s subjectivity.
