Belgium often prides itself on being an LGBTQ-friendly country, yet anti-trans activists hide their transphobia behind superficial pro-trans statements. Rylan Verlooy explores how this paradox affects trans people’s activism. Here, he shows how resistance takes the form of everyday acts of educating others, strengthening community spaces, and caring for trans lives
Rylan’s research dives into anti-trans politics and its impact on trans activism, with a special interest in the epistemic dimension of trans politics.
Their research centres trans issues in examining social justice activism, anti-gender politics, feminism, and intersectionality studies.
Rylan is also a researcher on the Horizon 2020 project CCINDLE.
