We experience queer literacy as a kind of collision between the traditional and the transformative. Queer literacy is an acquired literacy of transformation, where the established rules of behavior and discourse are both challenged and transcended. As a lesbian academic couple in a privileged intellectual, political, and social location, we can move out of the traditional realm (through the closet) into an otherworldly queer space where knowledge and identity are destabilized. Moving in and out of queer transformative space requires a kind of blind faith-faith that believes in what the mind can neither see nor prove.
我们将酷儿读写能力体验为一种传统与变革之间的碰撞。酷儿读写能力是一种后天习得的变革性读写能力，在其中，既定的行为规则和话语规则既受到挑战又被超越。作为处于优越知识、政治和社会地位的女同性恋学者夫妇，我们可以从传统领域（通过隐藏身份）进入一个超凡脱俗的酷儿空间，在那里知识和身份都不稳定。进出酷儿变革空间需要一种盲信——一种相信心灵既看不见也无法证明的东西的信念。
