TransAction Open Call: What I Say When I Say What I Shouldn’t

TransAction Open Call: What I Say When I Say What I Shouldn’t

Whether explicitly or implicitly, trans people often feel pressure to uphold certain narratives or political stances, to make more streamlined and digestible our goals, views, and intentions. With this call, TransAction invites submissions of art and writing by trans identified people (see a longer definition of this below) that complicates the dominant narratives and perceived truths of experience. “What I Say When I Say What I Shouldn’t” aims to be a space for trans people to opt out of the political/social pressure to be intelligible and knowable to people outside of the trans community as a way of creating room to dig into the complicated questions we often stay silent about.
