By transitions I mean ways of changing gender\/sex that do not adhere to the medically assigned and legally enforced static male\/female dichotomy. I conducted a new materialist ethnography in Germany in 2020-2023: I interviewed transitioning individuals, collected data related to their transition processes, participated in community spaces, talked to activists, counsellors and medical practicioners, and studied medicolegal regulations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am interested in how gender\/sex transitions are constituted and become evident as transitions: When is a transition a transition? How are its boundaries defined, and what gets excluded in the boundary-drawing-process? And what do these boundaries imply for the possibility to be\/come trans\/itioning? And for contemporary gender\/sex relations more broadly? To analyse how transitions are composed and conditioned, I employ a new materialist methodology and draw on relational understandings of differentiation from Karen Barad&#8217;s Agential Realism, Gilles Deleuze&#8217;s Difference-in-itself, and the Deleuzo-Guattarian concept of Assemblage\/Agencement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:12px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PUBLISHED FINDINGS <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Transitioning Out of Time: Why Every Gender Transition Is Always Already Late<\/strong><br>published in <em>Time &amp; Society<\/em> in 2025 |&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0961463X251325616\">doi.org\/10.1177\/0961463X251325616<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abstract: While gender transitions are often discussed as a question of identity\/body, this article examines them as a temporal issue. Gender transitions are not only chrononormatively located in youth as the life phase in which identity formation presumably takes place, but&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;regardless of an individual\u2019s chronological age&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;are often framed as a second puberty. The article argues that this is a specific use of time that works to contain gender\/sex and regulate transitions. Drawing from a Germany-based ethnographic study, the article explores how gender transitions in youth and adulthood take place through arranging time. While timing seems integral to transitions, it appears to be impossible to tran- sition at the right time: Every transition is always already late, foundationally ren- dered out of sync by the linear temporal organisation of identity. This is because trans is formed by marking it as change in gender\/sex where chrononormative life course expects to be continuation.<br>Against this background, the article discusses gender transitions as time work entrenched in notions of youth and development. This time work imposes a teleology onto change and regulates and impedes transitions. The article shows that transitions are delineated by specific uses of time and theorises how time works to&nbsp;figure gender within modern linearity, suggesting that it is the assumption of linear time itself which makes it impossible for transitions to be on and in time and effectively displaces them from the present. Building on that, the article departs from common understandings of trans as incongruence of body\/identity, venturing that the incongruence engendering transitions might be a temporal one. Concluding, the article considers whether for better trans politics, we need a different relation to time and move away from the linear segmentation of past\/present\/future, to make time for a trans presence that does not need to go anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Doing Gender Transitions<\/strong><br>published in <em>Zeitschrift f\u00fcr P\u00e4dagogik<\/em>&nbsp;(in German) in 2022 | <a href=\"http:\/\/doi.org\/10.3262\/ZPB2201082\">doi.org\/10.3262\/ZPB2201082<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abstract: This article focuses on gender transitions, a phenomenon that has received little attention in transition research thus far. Employing a neo-materialist research approach makes it possible to go beyond a consideration of gender transitions as mere individual transformation processes. Drawing on my qualitative research, I describe the formation of transitioning subjects in situated practices, taking into account the complex interaction of discourses, bodies, feelings, objects, knowledges, and institutional regulations. This highlights that gender transitions and transitioning subjects are not singular but relational processes that are neither exclusively socio-cultural nor exclusively material. Finally, I discuss propositions and implications of employing neo-materialist approaches to transition research, especially for fostering reflexivity and relationality.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-atomic-blocks-ab-accordion ab-block-accordion\"><details><summary class=\"ab-accordion-title\">Talks<\/summary><div class=\"ab-accordion-text\">\n<p>16\/02\/2024: <em>(Trans)Geschlechtlichkeit als Empfindung &#8211; eine neomaterialistische Perspektive auf Geschlechtsidentit\u00e4t<\/em>.

The project provides a discourse-historical analysis of the Institute&#8217;s role in shaping and conditioning trans\/itions in Germany. I investigate how notions of gender\/sex, body, health and identity were formed and modified over time at the institute, and inform treatment models, clinical guidelines and practices, as well as law making and public views and debates on trans\/itions to this day. I take the institute as a vantage point to trace lager shifts in the medicolegal regulation of gender\/sex and contextualise current debates around trans(sexuality) and gender self-determination, especially with regards to the Self-Determination Act and recent changes in diagnostic manuals, medical guidelines and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2020-2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genderstruggles.org\/genderstruggles-project\/\"><em>#GenderStruggles: Building Community Resilience via Creativity and Digital Media<\/em>.<\/a>&nbsp;Raul Wallenberg Institute, Schweden, Sabanci University Gender and Women\u2019s Studies Center of Excellence (SU Gender), T\u00fcrkei, Center for Comparative Research on Democracy, Humboldt University Berlin.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-atomic-blocks-ab-accordion ab-block-accordion\"><details><summary class=\"ab-accordion-title\">Memberships<\/summary><div class=\"ab-accordion-text\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/intergenderconsortium.wordpress.com\/\">InterGender \u2013 International Consortium for Interdisciplinary Feminist Research Training<\/a> <br>Board Member for Cornelia Goethe Center, Goethe University Frankfurt<br>Part of the Executive Committee<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/soziologie.de\/\">Deutsche Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Soziologie<\/a> (DGS) | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sociohub-fid.de\/s\/frauen-und-geschlechterforschung\/\">Sektion <em>Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung<\/em><\/a> (FuG)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kwgev.wordpress.com\/\">Kulturwissenschaftliche Gesellschaft<\/a> (KWG) | <a href=\"https:\/\/kwgev.wordpress.com\/sektionennetzwerke\/materielle-kulturen\/\">Sektion <em>Materielle Kulturen<\/em><\/a> &amp;
