heteroqueer

en-adj

heteroqueer (comparative more heteroqueer, superlative most heteroqueer)

more heteroqueer (comparative)
most heteroqueer (superlative)

I lived openly as a dyke for more than 20 years and no number of shots [of testosterone] ... will ever change my history. Nor do I have any interest in that happening....I've been without my lesbian ID card for several years now, but I can't really call myself straight either. I really have no concept of "straight" as a life experience ... so "heteroqueer" seems to fit best, or "I'm a guy who likes girls who like 'special' guys."

2011, Michael W., quoted in Genny Beemyn & Sue Rankin, The Lives of Transgender People, page 33

In Day's more lighthearted take on Sidney's story in Isle of the Gulls, Pyrocles's friend Demetrius (Musidorus in the Arcadia) comments on the unlikelihood of this erotic heteroqueer triangle: “That the duke should doate upon thee for a woman, makes for our purpose, but that the dutches should be enamord on thee for a man, is preposteroous."

See Mock (2003) and Zita (1992) for interesting pieces on male lesbians and heteroqueer ladies – individuals who are attracted to members of the opposite sex, but feel as though they “should” be members of the opposite sex with same-sex sexual desires.

2009, Nicole Hagan Wolensky Civettini, "Same-Sex Unions: Do Theories of Marriage Apply?", thesis submitted to The University of Iowa, page 18

heteroqueerness

Robert Heasley has begun to address the notion of heteroqueerness as it pertains specifically to the male subject. His paper focuses on a typology of men who perform queer masculinities and also identify as straight.

2015, Jamie Lee Coull, "Faux Queens: an exploration of gender, sexuality and queerness in cisfemale drag queen performance", thesis submitted to Curtin University, page 45

On this occasion, I will bring to the fore one example related to the homo-trans*- revolution sequence, and its flipside in the concealment of “homonormativity”, and another that expresses the hetero-cis-repression series and occludes the potential of heteroqueerness.

2017, Moira Pérez, "The Sex-Gender Revolution Series", Revista Estudos Feministas, Volume 25, Number 2, May-August 2017, page 437

She [Roberta Mock] defines queer as the ‘politics of the liberation of desire’ (2003, 23) and I would contend that heterosexual women who actively express a lack of desire to reproduce performing heteroqueerness.

When asked how they would describe their sexual orientation, Reese stated: “I kind of have an idea. I’m pansexual, but I prefer women … cisgender women. I prefer cisgender women. I should say that because you should specify. … My romantic orientation is more, I don’t know, it’s demipansexual I guess. It’s just all encompassing.” With this passage Reese specified that, although they are demipansexual—may become attracted to people of any gender after they develop a strong emotional and romantic bond with them—they prefer cisgender women.

My ‘baby trans’ days of insecurity, taking crumbs of attention from the Bens of the world, are long since over but, still, it’s delightful to know that the trans girls of tomorrow could also tell this type of man to “fuck off and watch ContraPoints” the minute he started his shit.

It seems he knew nothing of spiritual wifery before he came here. I suggested to him that, after such a discourse from Brigham, he was in duty bound to take two or three wives, at least.

1855 September, [Cornelia Ferris], “Life Among the Mormons”, in Putnam’s Monthly Magazine […], volume 6, number 33, page 265:

In it he stated his conviction that Bennett had not taught polygamy or spiritual wifery, and his belief that the church leaders at Voree were set “like flint” against spiritual wifery in every form.

1930, Milo Milton Quaife, The Kingdom of Saint James: A Narrative of the Mormons, page 97:

It is more than likely that the Rhode Island law against breaches of marriage covenants was a direct response to the rapid spread of spiritual wifery in this period.

God, that period of my life-- Mikey and I were separated, and I clung desperately to the last vestiges of twinkdom: knee-high tube socks, wife beaters, and that goddamned bottle-opener necklace, declaring my obvious devotion to the bar scene.

2011, Marshall Callaway, “Charley's Stop”, in Deena Brabant, editor, arden, volume xiii, Columbus, Ga.: Columbus State University, page 30:

So whilst the rejection of twinkdom and the prioritisation of youth in gay culture, which was part of bear culture's development, is replaced with a positive celebration and eroticisation of maturity in bear porn, […]

2017, John Mercer, “Straight acting? Heterosexuality, Hypermasculinity and the Gay Outlaw”, in Gay Pornography: Representations of Sexuality and Masculinity, London, New York: I.B. Tauris, →ISBN, page 133:

He was less of a twink than Kris—and Kris suspected twink was basically Rayne’s type—but that wasn’t a fair comparison. Kris was like, the Platonic ideal of twinkdom.

2018, Arden Powell, chapter 11, in A Summer Soundtrack for Falling in Love, Riptide Publishing, →ISBN, page 163:

Twinkdom is also a short-lived phase of life; time is the twink’s ontological threat.

cislation

en-noun

cislation (countable and uncountable, plural cislations)

From replacing the trans- part of translation with cis-; coined by T.J. Jourian.

2019, Kate Curley, Debunking the false dichotomy: Developing and applying trans quantcrit at the intersection of trans/non-binary identities and religious, secular, and spiritual engagement in college, thesis for Eastern Michigan University
What is called the cislation of transness (the perpetuation of cisnormativity in descriptions of trans people) in higher education and RSS research is pervasive (Sumerau, 2017; Sumerau, Cragun, & Mathers, 2016). Historically and contemporarily, cis people have controlled the narrative on trans/NB people’s experiences.

Rather than push for more fluid, dynamic, and intersectional notions of gender expansiveness, the “binary v. nonbinary trans people” fallacy keeps our most simplified and palatable narratives front and center. This is yet another practice of cislation, or the translating of seemingly illegible (i.e., not understandable) genders for cis recognition.

2019 June 4, T.J. Jourian and Z Nicolazzo, "Not Another Gender Binary: A Call For Complexity Over Cis-Readability: Why a nonbinary/binary trans dichotomy is counterproductive to gender liberation", National Center for Institutional Diversity

[…] our and our kin’s lives, realities, bodies, and voices, thereby interrupting their cislation. Cislation refers to an analytical practice of presenting trans perspectives in such a way as to make them legible to a dominantly and presumably nontrans readership, but that may in fact […]

2020, Z Nicolazzo, TJ Jourian, “'I'm looking for people who want to do disruption work': Trans* academics and power discourses in academic conferences”, in Gender and Education, 2020:

Binary and non-binary more often function as cislations (i.e., their use is often aimed at making trans positionalities more understandable to cisgender people) than as a readable trans dichotomy (see Jourian & Nicolazzo, 2019).

2021 August 5, Joshua M. Paiz, James E. Coda, Intersectional Perspectives on LGBTQ+ Issues in Modern Language Teaching and Learning, Springer Nature, →ISBN, page 163:

(transgender and social sciences) The act or process of cislating.

cislates (present singular third-person)
cislating (participle present)
cislated (participle past)
cislated (past)

From replacing the trans- part of translate with cis-; coined by T.J. Jourian.

The purpose of this section is to translate – or perhaps more accurately to cislate – and simplify trans language to a cis(-assumed) audience.

2017, TJ Jourian, “Trans* ing constructs: Towards a critical trans* methodology”, in Tijdschrift voor Genderstudies:

Many of us also distill ourselves into descriptors that we think they might understand or accept, doing the cislating for them through “how” we participate. And it is to the detriment of their work not to consider how their other […] Speaking of cislating, one of the things I am tired of reading is long and often static, inaccurate, problematic, limiting terminology sections in every paper and book that includes TGNC people's stories.

2020 November 5, Nancy S. Niemi, Marcus B. Weaver-Hightower, The Wiley Handbook of Gender Equity in Higher Education, John Wiley & Sons, →ISBN, page 541:

I thought aloud about 'a word for kinda transm kinda not' before settling on transish? and Otto went through terms like demitrans and cisdissident before settling on cisn't for this study: 'I am not exactly trans, but cis isn't it. Cisn't it? [laughs]' (Otto). […] Despite this discomfort, all participants engaged in cislating themselves. They all 'let people call me trans (J) because 'sometimes it's just easier' (Bix) or 'better than cis (Otto). […] cislated frames that focus on trans / cis and binary / nonbinary dichotomies and on man / woman / nonbinary trinaries […]

Ineffable Husbands

From a description of the plans of God as "ineffable" in the original novel (1990) by Neil Gaiman and Terry Prachett.

Known as the "Ineffable Husbands," their dynamic easily lends itself to being read as queer within the initial novel as well as in the miniseries, with the pairing significantly outpacing any other Good Omens pairing on the fanfiction site Archive of Our Own.

2023, Erin Giannini, Amanda Taylor, “In the Beginning: Nice and Accurate Analyses of Good Omens”, in Amanda Taylor, Erin Giannini, editors, Deciphering Good Omens: Nice and Accurate Essays on the Novel and Television Series, page 2:

Aziraphale and Crowley’s duality of personalities and complex approaches to life and morality means that you can tell almost any kind of story at almost any point in human history and find a way to shoehorn the Ineffable Husbands into the fray.

2023, Grey D. Mangan, "The Internet Isn’t Forever: Early Internet Fan Archives, Their Stewards, Lifespans, and the Political Nature of the Deaths of Their Queer Communities", thesis submitted to the University of Tennessee, page 87

Each of the fanfiction's chapters deals with an event that enables an interaction between the 'Ineffable Husbands' and allows one to observe their dynamic relationship.

metronormativity

en-noun

metronormativity (countable and uncountable, plural metronormativities)

Metronormative thinking links welcoming, safe, and liberated with the city and dangerous, homophobic, and closeted with the rural.

Metronormative narratives treat rural regions as a spatial closet out of which LGBTQ+ people must emerge by moving to the city and realizing “the full expression of the sexual self."

The efficient way to tell this story is to consider metronormativity as its overall strategy, i.e. a dominant discourse, that puts urban dwelling gays and lesbians versus their rural counterparts in political orientation.
