What do queer trans ecological approaches mean for you? What do they do for us? And what do you reckon they could mean for other queer and trans geographers or scholars?
23:29
Yeah, that's such a good question.
23:30
And there's so many, so many layers to it.
23:34
And this is kind of what we came to in this coda of the piece where, and I think this was at the request of the editors to say, hey, this is really lovely, but can you really sum it up for like the undergraduate geography class reader? And so I talked a bit about destabilizing categories and how our very presence within the institutions can destabilize categories.
23:58
And again, not everyone who is queer or trans and a geographer is going to do that, but it's something that I think an experience of being marginalized in one's family, in one's school, in society, in this way that is very much about the body, affords, it's like an affordance of like a perspective.
24:22
It's like an opening of a window or something like that.
24:25
For me, the process of kind of coming into my queer and trans body and queer and trans relations was very much about, you know, embodiment and against, you know, dissociation, which was how I think I spent a lot of my young personhood.

I'm quite interested to ask you what's coming up for you next.
