Can anyone make sense of this Canadian poet's keynote speech? "Queer erasure and consumption of Indigenous bodies mimics its erasure and consumption of transsexual bodies. Our gender variance becomes their answer to the persistent heteronormativity of Queer spaces."

It should surprise no one that the author of this piece, Benaway, has won many awards, despite remaining a completely obscure figure among Canadians. Benaway also has been named a fellow in the Department of Transgender Studies at the University of Victoria (think Evergreen State College, but much harder to get to) and regularly gets interviewed by national networks.
