  More info

  The Journal of Critical Thought and Praxis has traditionally published interviews with individuals who have strong connections to our special issue topics. We believe that interviews are important ways to contribute to the conversation surrounding critical issues in social justice. This interview features Dr. Z Nicolazzo, whose recent visit to Iowa State University offered the opportunity for the editorial team to discuss her research and interests in Trans* Studies. This interview took place on the day that the Supreme Court of the United States began their debates on trans rights in the work place, which is mentioned and discussed in the interview.

  Using a collective case study approach, this study explored a phenomenon called compulsory heterogenderism, a neologism created to explain the ways in which gender identities and sexualities are consistently understood in and through each other. Put another way, although participants’ sexualities (e.g., being gay, lesbian, bisexual, or queer) were distinct from their gender identities as trans*, the way cisgender (non-trans*) individuals made sense of participants’ gender was through their sexuality. As a result of compulsory heterogenderism, participants’ gender identities often went unrecognized, rendering their trans* identities invisible. Specifically, this collective case study focused on four participants whose gender identities as trans* were erased by others’ insistence they were cisgender queer, lesbian, and/or heterosexual women.
