Despite the title, this episode contains a generous amount of laughter, because it is just that enjoyable to talk to Hil Malatino, brilliant author of Side Affects: On Being Trans and Feeling Bad (2022). Hil has published groundbreaking work on trans and intersex stories and histories and, in this most recent monograph, draws our attention to the complexities of trans affect. In order to explore emotions such as numbness, fatigue, envy and rage, Hil consults literary texts as well as performance art, so of course I make Hil talk about my new favourite performance art obsession Cassils, alongside Casey Plett and Kai Cheng Thom. Tune in now to learn about all of these fascinating people, about human dolphin communication, about the manifold uses of ketamine, and about Xena and Subaru.

Questions you should be able to respond to after listening:
  1. Which types of affects does Hil write about in Side Affects? What role do they play in trans storytelling?
  2. Can you list the bad feelings that Hil discusses in the book? Hint: You can also look at the table of contents online.
  3. How does Hil describe the method of Side Affects, in terms of selecting and discussing texts?
  4. Why does Hil find ‘triumphant’ narratives about trans lives problematic? Can you think of an example of such a narrative?
  5. Hil speaks about positionality in academic writing. How do you feel about this? Do you write about yourself in your work?
