Danielle Lefebvre: "Gender Euphoria: A Direction for Trans-Affirmative Research and Care"
Transgender peoples’ experiences are often reduced to singular, negative narratives. Gender euphoria is an alternative. Narrative inquiry centered 3 participants’ stories of gender euphoria. This study has implications for research, trans-affirmative care, and the transgender community. I am a 3rd year PhD student in Counselling at the University of Calgary. My areas of interest are body image, weight bias, gender, and gender euphoria. I also love reading and spending time in nature.

Anissa Baird: "Goldilocks & the three voice actors: Gender expression in video games”
This study looks at the perception of gender non-conforming (GNC) voices in fictional media by examining 3 character pairs (1 cis, 1 GNC) performed by 3 cis voice actors (VAs). Results suggest that these VAs use at least some of the phonetic cues GNC individuals use, when performing GNC characters. Anissa Baird is a PhD student in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Toronto. They are a sociolinguist who specifically focuses on non-binary genderbased language variation.

Katja Thieme & Mary Ann S. Saunders: "Trans Girls In Recent Middle School Fiction"
Katja Thieme & Mary Ann S. Saunders “Trans Girls In Recent Middle School Fiction: Concealed Trauma and Autoethnography” Cis authors’ impulse to educate cis readers has dominated middle school fiction. Two trans-authored novels countering this are Gino’s Melissa (2015) & Bunker’s Zenobia July (2019). Our project combines autoethnographic reading & languagefocused analysis to show submerged trauma in these novels. Katja Thieme's training is in literary studies and rhetoric and writing studies and her research projects focus on writing of political movements and insurgent academic discourse. Mary Ann S. Saunders is a lecturer at the University of British Columbia, where she specializes in writing and discourse studies, children’s and trans literatures, and trans studies.
