About the Cisnormativity Project
Overview and masthead
The Cisnormativity Project critically confronts several subtopics — among them, cisnormativity, homonormativity, heteronormativity, cissexism, trans enmity, trans misogyny, acts of cis supremacy, and the language of gender (including its dialects and accents).
In addition, newer ideas will be explored here — such as trans-balling & trans-lining. These are portmanteaus of “trans” and either “blackballing” or “redlining“, respectively (in which one trans demographic impedes upon the institutional, social, and economic accessibility or enfranchisement of another trans demographic). Social-institutional barriers inherent to and problematic for trans citizenship, social parity, and social justice are likely to be examined.
We also have some whip-smart writers.
