I have now taught Trans Philosophy (2015), Trans Literature (2016), Transgender Studies (2018), Trans Rights, Law, and the Public Sphere (2025) and in the Fall I will teach Introduction to LGBT Studies! I have purposefully kept each course distinct in readings, aims, and approaches.

As a teenager my teachers made it so that students who called me by my pronouns or name were put in detention (as was I) and I think one big difference between the 2000s and now is that this has moved from haphazard local suppression to organized federal government policy.

Preparing for the final class I’ll probably teach as a Professor in a Philosophy Department. It’s been a good four years rediscovering what I loved about philosophy before it became an unapologetic and naive transphobia laundering device.
