How Do Gender Transitions Happen? A Discussion With Jules Joanne Gleeson

On this episode of Acid Horizon, Craig, Will, and Adam have the
privilege of being joined by Jules Joanne Gleeson, a theorist,
comedian, historian, and contributor to recent Transgender
Marxism collection, which she co-edited with fellow theorist and
political economist Elle O’Rourke. Jules joins us today not only
to discuss the project of a Transgender Marxism, as well as her
essay in the collection “How do Gender Transitions Happen?” and
her recent interview with Judith Butler. We discuss how Marxist
theory can contribute to the imperative struggle of trans
liberation, how subjectivation can be understood in the
experience of gender transition on both the individual and
communal levels, and the trans-positive futures that await us in
the struggles of the present. Thinkers in the discussion include
Althusser, Hale, Serano, Stryker, Binnie, Deleuze, Malabou,
Butler, Hegel, Foucault, and many more!
