I have spent months re-reading 18th C Mexican sodomy trials to pull out trans femmes who have been misinscribed as men (& were specifically subjected to trans misogyny) and I am REELING after finding a popular mistranslation of one of their testimonies. In the case of three, 1/5

Ecstatic to share my newest (& fav!) pub: "Trans Sex Work in Colonial North America: A Herstory" 💗
It traces the phenomenological link between trans femininity & sex work across time, zooming in on three micro-histories of trans women from 1650 to 1840.

Read through a trans femme lens - & alongside the transcripts of others - her transcript reads, to me, "even though [I am] amujerado, this is not for men to fall in love with [me]," instead asserting that being amujerado was for her, no one else - a VERY different statement. 3/5

information - especially when translated - but there is something to be said about how cistorians (unintentionally) impossibilize trans femininity in the archive and, in doing so, miss so, so much ❤️ this is just one of dozens of examples *screams to no one* 5/5

Moreover, this is the most direct translation, meaning previous historians have read it, thought "that can't be right," and ignored the reflexivity of the verb to fix her words into their limited sexual rubric... Of course, court transcripts are famously unreliable sources of 4/5

each suspect describes herself as amujerado (roughly, 'womaned'), two even clarifying to the court this is different from being a sodomite. In the case of the third, she's mistranslated saying, "even though [I am] amujerado, this does not mean that [I fall] in love with men." 2/5

Was catching up with an old New York friend when they casually mention their "weekly polycule Trader Joe's trip," affectionately called "Trader Hoes" 😂 What am I (someone who has finally adjusted to non-NYC life) supposed to do with this information?

@thehistoriann
so so interesting, thank you for sharing! my article only studies North American New Spain (specifically the valley of Mexico and California), but I am not surprised there is crossover across geographies. Can't wait to read your piece when it's out! Pls do share.

V late, but had to share our obligatory post-panel photo from last weekend's Shifting Tides conference! First time chairing a panel with my brilliant friends on it and there was much trans magic in the air ✨

& if you prefer to learn about this herstory w/ audio/visuals, my March lecture at the Uni of Toronto is on YouTube! It was based on a slightly earlier draft of the chapter, but a good alternative if you can't get access - though I'd recommend the text!

- ephemera from the 1869 wedding of Joseph Israel Lobdell, including an invitation, news clipping, and flowers 💐
- a double-sided menu from the North London White House Tavern, once run by James Howe (back side reserved for secret queer nights ofc)
