Abstract

The rise of queer and transgender studies has greatly contributed to feminist and lesbian understandings of sex, gender, and sexuality and also has resulted in rifts, tensions, and border wars. One such tension is around the inclusion of trans women in women-only space, such as the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival (Michfest). In this ethnophenomenological study, we interviewed and surveyed 43 cisgender women who attended Michfest in 2013. Participants had a variety of perspectives on trans inclusion and on the dialogue surrounding it, and these paralleled intersections, frictions, and tensions between feminism, queer theory, and transgender studies.

摘要

酷儿和跨性别研究的兴起极大地促进了女权主义者和女同性恋者对性、性别和性取向的理解，但同时也导致了分歧、紧张关系和边界冲突。其中一种紧张关系围绕着跨性别女性进入仅限女性的空间，比如密歇根女性音乐节（Michfest）。在这项民族现象学研究中，我们采访并调查了43位在2013年参加过密歇根女性音乐节的顺性别女性。参与者对跨性别者的包容以及围绕这一话题的讨论有着各种各样的观点，这些观点反映了女权主义、酷儿理论和跨性别研究之间的交叉、摩擦和紧张关系。
