  • Tranny Tracks: A Look at Gender Variant Representation in Literature,
    Friday, November 13th @ 1pm. SMSU 333

  • Today’s entertainment media is saturated with stereotypes of transgender and
    gender variant people. Twig Deluje’ and Erin Malus are the minds behind Bare
    Bones Press & Productions, a company devoted to demarginalizing gender
    variant visibility within all forms of media, from books to film and beyond.

    “Our mission is to provide a greater understanding of what the vast spectrum
    of gender variance actually looks like, and then apply that to all media
    forms,” says Deluje’. “We want everyone within the gender spectrum to feel
    that their story is a valid and respected one.”

    Deluje’ and Malus will illustrate how trans and gender variant
    representation in literature has changed over time and where it stands
    today. The workshop will conclude with a panel of experts in the fields of
    film/television, music, visual art, and literature discussing where gender
    variant representation stands in their fields and where they see things
    going.
