Finally, a breakthrough with the research paper!

In the early hours of Monday morning, the breakthrough FINALLY happened with the research paper! I think what helped was just opening a blank document, ignoring anything I had previously written, and just pasted my revised paper title at the top and started writing about particular works by Ebenezer Galluzo, referencing back to the interview transcript for quotes.

I realised I was enjoying the process too, and over the course of a few hours I had written 3/4 of the paper!

As 99% of my citing is from transcripts of interviews, I need to reference them in a way that the reader can find the paragraph and read the full quote for context. So if I break them up in to sections so that I can reference the section and narrow it down some what for the reader. Every 5 paragraphs or so call it a new section.

On the trans riots where there’s only a small section used for quote out of the full transcript, copy and paste that section at the start of the blog post and highlight it.


What is my conclusion? What have I learnt?

These three artists identify differently, and have all used different methods to align their gender identities with their gender presentation

The obligation, as a trans person, to do something in response

The American government legislation is pretty grim, but it generates creative activism, in protest, response and feeling disempowered

However active your practice, whatever stage you’re at in your transition, you can still be impacted by these changes and feel a need to respond, everybody’s experience of how they’re treated by the legislation is valid and individual
