Publications
"'Bear Witness and Build Legacies': Twentieth and Twenty-First Century Trans* Autobiography"
Auto/biography Studies
U.S. ideologies—which medical discourses create and maintain—rationalize trans* people as trapped within improper bodies or as liberated within surgically constructed new ones. In contrast, trans* autobiographers resituate themselves as active subjects rather and understand gender as a diverse spectrum. Twenty-first century autobiographers Jennifer Finley Boylan and Alex Drummond imagine trans* identity as productive – the goal is not to justify gender diversity but to explore it. Drummond and Boylan reconceptualize trans* identity as viable with or without medical intervention and articulate a continuous subject rather than one split between past and present, thereby resisting dominant ideals of trans* selfhood.
