We feature conference participants Riley Lewicki and Alanah Mortlock, to explore what it means to create philosophical spaces that begin from the assumption that trans people exist — and that their lives, relationships, and ways of thinking matter.

Amy discusses her forthcoming monograph Trans Fascination, her work on curiosity and “curiotization,” and the complexities of trans visibility. 

Plus: favourite Golden Girl returns, conference joy, trans film, (Kristin's) “weaponized philosopher incompetence,” role playing on planes, and why “all the good shit is happening” in Black trans philosophy.
