"Trans Performance Now: Glitching cisgenderism" - £185,627 from the taxpayer

Another cruel day of austerity!

Dr Rachel Hann, a “cultural scenographer and current AHRC Fellow based at Northumbria University, Newcastle (UK)”

Today I will explain how you, dear taxpayer, are funding a research project titled: Trans Performance Now: Glitching cisgenderism.

It’s another Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) good’n, with the project running from January this year to June 2025.

Taking place at Northumbria University, the “fellowship will provide the foundational infrastructure for a new wave of trans-led research investigating the cultural tensions between cis (non-trans) regulation (otherwise termed 'cisgenderism') and trans self-determinism.”

Ah yes, something we can all get on board with. I don’t know about you but I’m personally delighted the UK is spending £185,627 on this research.
