Not Trans Enough: The Intersections of Whiteness & Nonbinary Gender Identity

Year: 2016
Type: dissertation
Abstract: In this study, I attempt to lay the groundwork for nonbinary gender identity to have space in the growing field of trans studies by looking into how nonbinary identity is affected by intersectional paradigms. Specifically, I look into whiteness as a racial category and how that influences specific identity experiences. Drawing on interview data from both white people and people of color, I examine how whiteness and nonbinary gender identity interact in identity formation and how this affects the lived experiences of my respondents.
