Dr. Jules Gill-Peterson: Being Street: The Trans Woman of Color as Evidence, Imagining Trans Futures

Jules Gill-Peterson (Johns Hopkins University, History), a Professor of Transgender History, Politics, and Medicine, offers a history of how poor trans women of color -- especially in the 1960's -- create knowledge through the lived experience, with an emphasis on figures such as Sylvia Rivera, Jennie June, and Marsha P. Johnson. Full Lecture Abstract: Gill-Peterson interrogates the idealized separation between medico-scientific knowledge and vernacular trans lived experience as more truthful historical evidence. Focusing on figural and ephemeral poor trans women of color in the 1960s whose lives transpired primarily on the street, who did sex work, and who formed social bonds to address violence as well as transition DIY, Gill-Peterson argues that the authoritative archives of transsexual medicine, social services and the police, and the political reclamation of trans people telling their own stories all participate in the construction of trans women of color’s “experience,” rather than the former serving as its occlusion and the latter its salvation.
