This call seeks to embrace different disciplinary and methodological approaches, as well as to address various thematic areas of interest that, in our view, deserve to be explored in the current context:

• Linguistic, terminological, and identity-related evolutions linked to “non‑binary” and their impact on processes of subjectivation
• Media representations (social media, music, film, illustration, comics, literature, TV series, journalism)
• Communities (in their plurality): queerness, transness, neuroqueerness
• Alliances (feminisms, transfeminisms)
• Intersectional domains: age, disability, neurodiversity, fatness, racialization, class
• Impact of stigma and mental health
• Relationships and sexuality
• Gender euphoria and other individual and communal affirmative experiences
• Current policies and sociopolitical contexts
• Juridical aspects
• Acts of resistance and strategies of “hacking” the system
• Implications for rethinking gender, social change, and social justice
