This practice note is a call to practitioners, researchers, and educators to reconsider how they approach work with trans and nonbinary communities. Drawing on previous work done by Tuck, and shuster and Westbrook, I encourage readers to move from a deficit-based lens to a lens where joy is part of the narrative, an aspect of trans and nonbinary lives that is often missing from much of the research on trans communities. Furthermore, I urge readers to move beyond seeing trans and nonbinary communities as primarily social and political issues to be addressed and to see and embrace the complex and nuanced humanity and lived experiences of trans and nonbinary people.
本实践说明呼吁从业者、研究人员和教育工作者重新思考他们如何与跨性别和非二元性别群体合作。借鉴塔克、舒斯特和韦斯特布鲁克之前的工作,我鼓励读者从基于缺陷的视角转变为以快乐为叙事一部分的视角,这是跨性别和非二元性别群体研究中经常缺失的一个方面。此外,我敦促读者不要仅仅将跨性别和非二元性别群体视为需要解决的主要社会和政治问题,而是要看到并接受跨性别和非二元性别者复杂而微妙的人性和生活经历。
