Being Trans in Philosophy: A Zine

Forthcoming June 2025 / Edited by Ding & Willow Starr

Trans people and our loved ones are not okay -- in, with, and because of academic philosophy. Being Trans in Philosophy collects first-personal accounts of what it's actually like to be trans or to have trans kids as a philosopher.

Our stories highlight the material, on-the-ground consequences of academic philosophy's role as perhaps the main discipline providing intellectual cover for a global transmisogynistic and transphobic moral panic -- one that has been increasingly institutionalized into laws and policies.

We encourage allies to make and distribute copies at their discretion (at conferences, in your departments, etc.).
