THERE IS NO LETTER X IN TRANS

the future of transness is not assuming form as a third-gender, or third-sex.
centering my experience as a gender non-conforming person, my thesis examines how being documented under gender X endangers the queer population and ultimately reduces our BODIES, FLESH, MINDS, IDENTITIES, and HISTORIES OF CULTURE
