Name
Honoring Transcestors: The Politics of Resilient Trans Aging & Death
Date & Time
Friday, April 4, 2025, 11:45 AM - 1:00 PM
Description
In death, many trans folks, unfortunately, are disrespected and dehumanized through deadnaming, misgendering, erasure, and sanitization. In response, trans advocates and community members have widely protested and found innovative ways of honoring those who have died. Learn the unique intersection of transness and the cisnormative politics of death and its effects on living, aging, and dead trans individuals. Attendees will develop at least one practical tool for confronting cisnormative approaches to death and for trans end-of-life planning.
