“…As we have found, creating an editorial (or research) team with trans representation may not always be achievable, or even realistic-the structural, social, and political barriers affecting trans people, as well as those who exist within academia generally, may render the list of potential trans collaborators or reviewers in one's professional network either tiny or nonexistent (and, as we have found, a cold-call email invitation from a relative stranger to take on unremunerated administration is, unsurprisingly, not entirely attractive). Related to this is the issue of tokenism-as Holloway et al (2023) find, some trans researchers felt they were included in research teams because of the PI's attempt to artificially lend legitimacy and external credibility to the project, instead of their expertise and skillset.…”

In their review of this essay, a reviewer commented that "This editorial is situated at a crucial moment when transgender individuals are increasingly becoming the target of political, social, and legislative challenges across various global contexts. It leverages this timing to push forward an academic and practical discourse on transgender issues within organizations, highlighting the urgent need for awareness, research, and policy changes." While we must focus on this crucial moment, we note that in indigenous non-European cultures prior to mass religious and economically driven colonization, trans people could live and work naturally. Colonization and the imposition of "modern" western, Christian, and Islamic views on gender and sex changed trans lives by condemning them as evil and unnatural. Take the case of Pakistan, where here (and the rest of the Indian subcontinent), hijra were considered a third sex in Hindu scriptures, but became criminalized by British morality laws in the 1800s (Tabassum & Jamil, 2014). Now in Pakistan, laws must be enacted to protect this once accepted group (Redding, 2019) and studies have been conducted on their access to education (Tabassum & Jamil, 2014), health

This article delves into the typically unexamined complexities of conducting research with vulnerable populations, specifically focusing on trans and gender-diverse children and youth. While ethical guidelines exist, there are persistent knowledge gaps in genuinely collaborative research practices with vulnerable populations. Using collaborative autoethnographic methodology, the study draws on the narratives and reflexive accounts of four researchers to explore the complexities of oppression. The article argues for the necessity of a coalition of knowledge and multi-positional perspectives to develop sensitive and rigorous intervention strategies and policymaking. We propose the adoption of two theoretical frameworks: intersectionality and queer reflexivity, to guide our reflections and enhance research outcomes. By acknowledging and integrating diverse positionalities, collaborative approaches can increase the sensitivity, relevance and impact of research. The article proposes that recognising the intersectionality and temporality of researchers’ and participants’ identities can help to effectively navigate complex ethical, methodological and empirical research terrain. This we argue, ultimately contributes to more robust knowledge production, inclusive and impactful research outcomes. In conclusion, the study highlights the significance of embracing coalition and multi-positionality in anti-oppressive research endeavours that can provide diversified perspectives and interventions to better address the complex and multifaceted nature of oppression.
