“Legitimizing ‘iel’? Language and Trans Communities in Francophone and Anglophone Spaces”
Edited by Vinay Swamy (Vassar College) and Louisa Mackenzie (University of Washington, Seattle)
The last few years have seen an increased visibility of non-binary persons who are publicly claiming their identities and pronouns beyond the gender binary in both English and French. While the singular “they” has gained favor among many in Anglophone spaces due in part to the precedent for such a usage in English, Francophone non-binary persons have had to face further challenges regarding language and syntax given the binary nature of French grammar itself. This special issue considers recent attempts to make available gender‑equitable, ‑neutral, and ‑expansive language and identities to French speakers within linguistic, cultural, and pedagogical spaces.
