In the most recent television production of Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City book series, shown on Netflix, there is a moment at a dinner party where a group of ageing gay, white cismen are challenged by a younger coloured gay cisman about their use of language. The younger man is particularly annoyed about the word ‘tranny’, which operates to diminish, segment and exclude parts of the queer community. It is meant to be a provocative moment that invites queer viewers to understand both the histories and contemporary privilege within the queer alliance and appreciate the increasing plurality of the movement and its goals.

爱的考虑

在 Netflix 上播放的阿米斯特德·莫平 (Armistead Maupin) 的《城市故事》系列丛书的最新电视制作中，有一个时刻在晚宴上，一群上了年纪的白人同性恋同性恋者被一名年轻的有色人种同性恋者质疑他们对语言的使用. 年轻人对“变性人”这个词特别恼火，这个词的作用是减少、分割和排除部分酷儿社区。它旨在成为一个挑衅时刻，邀请酷儿观众了解酷儿联盟的历史和当代特权，并欣赏该运动日益多元化及其目标。
