The recent spotlight on trans philosophy underscores the historical neglect of trans voices within philosophical discourse. At a time when scholars like Perry Zurn and Talia Mae Bettcher were few, their work paved the way for a burgeoning interest in trans issues,. The Trans* Experience in Philosophy Conference in 2016 has since fostered a new generation of graduate students and early career philosophers contributing to this field. The editors emphasize the necessity of hope and representation in a discipline facing significant challenges, urging inclusivity and support for trans narratives.
In the 1990s and early aughts, very few philosophers were doing philosophy related to trans issues, and even fewer were trans themselves, highlighting a significant gap that persists.
The Trans* Experience in Philosophy Conference in 2016 catalyzed a new wave of philosophical work from trans voices, indicating a shift towards inclusive discourse.
