Abstract
Women and Gender Studies programs have been a source of
educational empowerment for people across the country, but at
what cost? My project sought out to present, critique, and
deconstruct the narrow and essentialist academic discourse
surrounding transgender narratives within the Women and
Gender Studies program. Each essay is written and framed
within both contemporary and older feminist and queer theory
as it relates to transgender discourse. The project ended with
more questions than answers, but with a fierce advocacy and
suggestions for a more multifaceted classroom approach to
viewing and discussing transgender discourse within the
Women and Gender Studies.
