Join us as we continue mythbusting through moral panics with our fantastic guest Jules Gill-Peterson. Adrian, Laura, and Jules discuss how cancel culture has its roots deep in transphobia and the misinformation surrounding the moral panic about transgender kids. Jules Gill-Peterson is Associate Professor of History at Johns Hopkins University. Jules is the author of Histories of the Transgender Child (University of Minnesota Press, 2018), the first book to shatter the widespread myth that transgender children are a brand new generation in the twenty-first century. Jules has been published widely - you can read a recent New Republic piece of hers here and subscribe to her wonderful newsletter, Sad Brown Girl, here.

Warning! This episode will turn you into a Jules Gill-Peterson (University of Pittsburgh) super fan -- if you are not one already. Jules talks about her research on the long and rich history of trans childhood, reflects on the construction of childhood (and its harmful implications) in Western Imperialist contexts and also shares some of her new work on DIY transitions. In addition to talking about some of her favourite children in the trans archives, Jules speaks about her own experience as a researcher and about the production of self-knowledge. Turns out: labels aren’t everything and they surely aren’t everything they’re made out to be.

Or, you know, find much less interesting content here (@Lena_Mattheis) on Instagram or Twitter. Questions you should be able to respond to after listening: 1. Why does Jules think that the concept of childhood is potentially more revelatory to think about than a definition of transness? How do trans children subvert hierarchies established through Western ideas of childhood? 2. Why are children unknowable? What does ‘unknowable’ mean? 3. How is the idea of childhood and immaturity used in a colonial context or to justify incarceration? 4. What does Jules mean when she says that “we really overinflate the power of signs”? 5. Have you ever known something about yourself despite not having a word to describe it? Can you think of an example for this from queer literature? 6. How can our perspective as literary studies scholars help us reflect on the production of self-knowledge?
