Major Contribution Reaction: Yes! And Lets Move Further Toward Trans Liberation

The author of this invited reaction comments on the four articles within the Major Contribution titled "Research on Trans People and Issues." The Major Contribution authors have successfully met the three goals they set for this work: to (a) review the current state of psychosocial trans scholarship and identify next directions, (b) propose a critical research approach to decision making in trans study activities, and (c) exemplify how this critical research approach may be applied within an empirical study with trans participants. The Major Contribution is a next step in the long history of advocacy for trans researchers to be more attentive to centering the voices of trans people. In this reaction, I enthusiastically support the spirit of the Major Contribution, provide feedback on the articles, and encourage the trans research field to implement the authors’ recommendations and continue to look for ways to reach further toward supporting trans liberation.
