Week 2, Day 1 of #TransLoveNov - Micky Bradford

11/8/2016

The second week of #TransLoveNov goes to the cultural producers. Although, it would be just as easy to include trans and gender nonconforming cultural producers in the activist week because our art is resistance. Micky Bradford is the perfect example of that and my love on day 8 goes out to her. An organizer with Transgender Law Center, Micky famously vogued to "dance away my anger, frustration, and sadness" in front of police stationed outside of North Carolina governor McCrory's house.

With love and in solidarity
#TransLoveNov

About that asterisk: This website uses the asterisk (*) as a linguistic disruption of sorts that shifts the meaning of words to intentionally reference from a trans perspective (e.g., trans*form). In most cases, it is not used after the word "trans" as is becoming common in many spaces (see this article for an explanation of the etymology and meaning of trans*), except when directly cited or is part of an already published piece. This is to honor the ongoing discussions and tensions amongst trans communities regarding the use/misuse of the asterisk. See, the following three articles to learn about some of these discussions and tensions: by Julia Serano, by the Trans Student Educational Resources, and by Practical Androgyny.
