Abstract

This article introduces a new theoretical framework comprised of three principles for teaching, learning, and researching gender in a way that celebrates gender diversity and centers transgender experiences and knowledge. The first principle describes how gender operates on multiple levels including individual, institutional, and socio-cultural. The second principle explores genderism as a system of oppression and delineates some of the ways genderism operates concurrently with all other systems of oppression, with racism and ableism provided as examples. The third principle asserts that transgender people’s lived experiences, experiential trans knowledge, and counter-narratives must be at the center of transformative efforts in educational spaces. Based on these principles, the article offers suggestions for how people in various educational roles in K-12 and post-secondary education could implement this framework to create educational spaces that affirm and support people of all genders.

摘要

本文介绍了一个新的理论框架，该框架由教学、学习和研究性别的三个原则组成，以庆祝性别多样性并以跨性别体验和知识为中心。第一个原则描述了性别如何在多个层面上运作，包括个人、机构和社会文化。第二个原则将性别主义作为一种压迫制度进行探索，并描绘了性别主义与所有其他压迫制度同时运作的一些方式，以种族主义和能力主义为例。第三个原则断言，跨性别者的生活经历、跨性别体验知识和反叙事必须成为教育空间变革努力的核心。基于这些原则，
