Publications

Zebras among Us (2021)

This book features research collected from over 100 trans*+ individuals and hundreds more individuals who are healthcare providers treating trans*+ patients, parents raising children who are trans*+ and non-binary, and mental health professionals. It offers transgender education frameworks useful for transgender and trans*+ affirming educators and practitioners considering trans*+ media, healthcare, and mental health representations. Lastly, it offers the term 'thisgender' as an addition to LGBTQIA to represent youth who medically transition so early that they never culturally transitioned. Essentially, Zebras among Us challenges the gender binary in every aspect of media, medicine, and mental health.

Transgender Dispossession in 'Transparent': Coming Out as a Euphemism for Honesty

Transparent depicts Maura as a dynamic character, yet it also depicts her dispossession that results from sociocultural forces and from her own internalized transphobia (cissexism) as a “normal” part of “coming out”.

Funk conclude that exposing the transgender dispossession depicted in Transparent could disrupt the normality of cisgender privilege to open a critical dialogue about the reification of the gender binary in media.
