[["After Trans Studies" by Andrea Long Chu and Emmet Harsin Drager]] (2019) - "Trans studies is over," and in need of a necessary overhaul - Trans studies lacks proper field definition, especially as distinct from queer theory - Trans studies constraints conversations about trans (especially "transsexual") lives - Chu in particular calls for production of theory through strife / argumentation [["Before Trans Studies" by Cassius Adair, et. al.]] (2020) - A response to _After Trans Studies_ (2019) by Chu and Drager - Trans studies isn't "over", in fact, in many places, it hasn't really begun - The main impediment to the progress of trans studies is the precarity most trans people face as well as institutional resistance - So, rather than being a space of harsh argumentation, trans studies should be a space of care and solidarity [["Trans* Studies Now" by Susan Stryker]] (2020) [["Whither Trans Studies?" by Kadji Amin]] (2023)
