Thanks for this, Cal! I’m super interested in what you write here about the meaning of transition because of the implicit tension here between the individual and the collective. Now I'm curious as to the possibilities of collective transition, especially as neoliberal narratives of transition as a hyper-individualized and private act mediated in part by consumption and participation in a rights-based legislative framework already permeate our world and really set the cultural expectations of what it means to be trans.
I'd like to edit that paragraph slightly to reference the original strategy framework https://www.ojta.org/principles-just-transition which uses liberationist theory over neoliberal acceleration. Over the years, though, the resonance of metamorphosis has really encouraged me to slow down -- I attempt to apply it to every project centered on change, not just environmental ones.
How wonderful that you're here! It was interesting researching Just Transition to see how it's been adopted, interpreted, and I'm sure warped at the highest echelons of power, and I'm grateful for you linking us back here to the origins <3
Thank you for this newsletter! I look forward to writing around your questions at the beginning as a way to find out how I'm thinking and feeling in this moment. <3
