Retelling racialized violence, remaking white innocence: The politics of interlocking oppressions in transgender day of remembrance

Condition or movement? A genealogy of trans discourse

“…At the time of writing, 'transphobia' has achieved a discursive stability and social recognition through regular use within trans community spaces and (increasingly) beyond. In this thesis I follow Bettcher (2007: 46) in regarding transphobia as 'any negative attitudes […] harboured towards transpeople on the basis of our enactments of gender', while also acknowledging that this can intersect complexly with other forms of prejudicial attitude and behaviour, including homophobia, racism and sexism (Koyama, 2004;Bettcher, 2007;Lamble, 2008;Richardson & Monro, 2010).…”

Studying trans: recommendations for ethical recruitment and collaboration with transgender participants in academic research

“…However, recognition that abuses suffered by trans people should be analysed in a context-specific fashion, in order to pay due attention to misogyny, class stratification, racism, and other axes of oppression is vital for the production of analyses that adequately recognise the complexity and heterogeneity of trans experiences. Lamble's (2008) analysis of the cleavage of race from trans status in the memorialisation of victims of violence advises (by demonstrative case study) how to avoid flattening intersectional circumstances.…”

Necrointimacies: Affect and The Virtual Reverberations of Violent Intimacy

“…The re-animation of the death throes of Santos's racialized body works in the service of what, I argue, is a specifically homonational trans-affirmation, and it is not a singular phenomenon. In "Retelling Racialized Violence, Remaking White Innocence," Lamble (2008) illustrates how the online memorial pages for the victims of anti-trans violence are dominated by pictures of white trans victims while the individual memorial entries of trans women of color are often accompanied by a silhouetted outline of the missing body. As Lamble argues, this use of the generic "No Photo" photo has a two-pronged effect: First, by virtue of its genericization, the ghostly silhouette used on the TDOR website obscures the ways in which the bodies affected by anti-trans violence are also marked by interlocking oppressions of race, class, ability, and sexuality.…”
