Trans and Gender Diverse Voices in Libraries

Abstract
The one-shot library session is a disruption of the typical classroom experience--the librarian, an outsider, comes into a classroom to speak about a certain specialty. As a trans and disabled person, I leverage my “difference” in the classroom to establish a more inclusive tone, and to include critical information literacy pedagogy. My transness is part of my teaching as much as my disability. While the level of disruption caused by my transness has changed over the years (both as I’ve medically transitioned and as social attitudes have changed), my disability (despite changes in how it affects me day-to-day) continues to be a steady disruption.
