Abstract
- The article discusses the importance of language activism in relation to the transgender community. It highlights the changes in norms around gender-inclusive language and the innovations in linguistic forms by trans, queer, and gender nonconforming individuals. The article emphasizes the need for intersectional coalitions in addressing linguistic issues faced by trans people, as transphobia is intensified by other forms of oppression. It also explores the challenges faced by trans language activism, including limited circulation, language ideologies, and the unequal impact of trans-affirming language. The article concludes by discussing the complex relationship between trans-affirming language and resistance to colonialism and cultural imperialism. [Extracted from the article]
