Trans joy as resistance : A queer phenomenological study on trans joy through the concept of trans failure (English)
Abstract [en]

In this thesis, the author explores what trans joy can be, and how it manifests in trans people’s everyday lives. Sara Ahmed’s theoretical framework Queer Phenomenology (2006) along with B Lee Aultman’s Trans Phenomenology (2018) directs the analysis towards an epistemological understanding of transness and trans joy. The limits and possibilities of trans joy are understood through its interaction with, and deviation from hegemonic binary gender norms that marginalize trans folks. Together with Jack Halberstam’s concept of The Queer Art of Failure (2011) and Ace Lehner’s trans-focused concept Trans Failure (2022), the study shows how failing to accomplish the cisnormative script is in fact something positive. Embracing one's true gender identity becomes a liberating experience.
