    Bias in rereading the past - Introduction (5%)

    To anyone who accuses me of rereading the past from a perspective that’s biased towards finding trans history, I would say: you’re absolutely right! But I would also say that I’m no less objective than any other historian. Because we live in a society that sees cis people as the default, the majority of histories are biased against finding trans history even when they try not to be.

    This! I've had to argue about this in more than one occasion: sometimes when I was in academia, sometimes when engaging with other writers, and sometimes with friends and family, too. When we center trans and LGBT+ experiences, we are quickly accused of being biased, of disregarding the experiences of "normal" people. But why do cisgender and heterosexual perspectives always have to take precedence? Why are they framed as "normal"?

    When societies are organised so that the accepted range of gender expression and sexual behaviour is incredibly narrow, many completely natural human forms of expression and experience are silenced and cast as shameful. It's a coercively enforced form of normativity and bias; arguably, a much more harmful bias than that of people who fall outside the narrow "gender and sexuality range" trying to find evidence that we're not alone and that, actually, normativity is not the norm.

    I was very glad to see Hayes bring this point up.
