🚨 Very happy to share this *new* pub, which began as a collection of sketches & questions in my notebook more than 5 yrs ago now! I hope this will be helpful as we continue to work together to articulate what Trans French Studies & what trans-affirming ALx can look like [1/6] 
I also hope this work will be helpful in (re)centering the voices of non-binary people as we think about & write through the ways that we position ourselves within and against myriad culturally and linguistically situated understandings of gender, particularly in French. [2/6]

Alright, y'all: a short 9 minutes until @queerterpreter talks to us about nonbinary Spanish! It's not too late to hop on over to @MSUclacs 's YouTube channel and join this conversation!
Here we go, y'all! The count down has begun! (And this waiting music! ✨💖✨)
@queerterpreter starts by noting that all of their slides and other work are available on their website! Find the slides and other presentations here: queerterpreter.com/presentations
Listening to Julia Spiegelman call out the way that French language textbooks present French colonization as justifiable (it is not), Francophone places as places to leave (they are not), and as the Francophonie as a product to consume (it is not). #ddfc @DdfcTweets 1/4
She notes the essentializing discourses that occur in our textbooks that --if not laid bare, questioned, and upended-- leave our students with MISrepresentations. This plays out through: 2/4
Power & domination, reduction and devaluation of francophone cultures, misalignment with intercultural understanding, justification of colonization as an endorsement of (White) French supremacy, & a strategic alignment of an American tourist role w/ a French tourist role 3/4
