Research
I am currently researching the experience of transsexual/transgender individuals in the Tampa Bay area (Tampa and St. Petersburg). Specifically I am interested in the ways in which both post-operative transwomen and pre-operative transmen negotiate their gynecological care. By extension, my interests include gender, sexuality, identity politics and queer theory. I believe that the current sex/gender binary found in the United States and many other Western nations is a violence, and that through offering subjectivity to diversity we will all be closer to freedom (normative and otherwise).
