Intelligence does not make you a feminist.

My research is situated in the interdisciplinary field of sociocultural linguistics and takes a mixed-methods approach to the relationship between language, identity, embodiment, and social power. It also grows from a community-based agenda that centers the experience of transgender people, broadly defined. Major areas of investigation include the gendered characteristics of the voice, trans-inclusive language practices and linguistic activism, the discursive construction of “biological sex,” the changing status of singular ‘they’, and the relationship between gender and race in drag-related media.

This blog post shares such a radically different view of transmasculinity that I’m not sure how to process it.

Transfeminine Science is a resource for original informational content on the subject of transfeminine hormone therapy. This form of hormone therapy is also known variously as feminizing hormone therapy (FHT), gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) for transfeminine people, and, more in the past, male-to-female (MtF) hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It involves the use of female sex hormones including estrogens and progestogens, as well as androgen-opposing medications known as antiandrogens, to produce feminization, demasculinization, alleviation of gender dysphoria, and other changes in transgender women and non-binary transfeminine individuals.
