Questions you should be able to respond to after listening:
1. Why does Jules think that the concept of childhood is potentially more revelatory to think about than a definition of transness? How do trans children subvert hierarchies established through Western ideas of childhood?
2. Why are children unknowable? What does ‘unknowable’ mean?
3. How is the idea of childhood and immaturity used in a colonial context or to justify incarceration?
4. What does Jules mean when she says that “we really overinflate the power of signs”?
5. Have you ever known something about yourself despite not having a word to describe it? Can you think of an example for this from queer literature?
6. How can our perspective as literary studies scholars help us reflect on the production of self-knowledge?
