Trans: Method
My trans experience is not the object of this research but one of its methods.
It is a situated way of noticing how bodies become recognizable.
Through encounters with medical, administrative, social, and technological systems of recognition, I became attentive to moments when lived experience and recognition do not fully align.
These moments are not only personal experiences of difficulty. They show the structures that organize recognition: the categories, assumptions, and protocols through which bodies become readable. Trans experience is a way of noticing these processes from within. Not from outside the system.
I call these moments slips.
My method is to stay with these slips. I do not treat them as errors to be corrected, but as sites of inquiry where the conditions of recognition become visible.
