This practice-led research into transgender writing, identity and themes comprises creative and critical components: a formally innovative literary novel using fiction in intersecting narrative layers to explore contemporary trans experience both pre- and post-transition, particularly in a working-class context; and a study of representations of cross-gender identities in a period of trans prehistory, contributing towards a new trans literary criticism.I'm trans (and working-class) myself, diagnosed by a gender identity service and undergoing hormone therapy (I plan on graduating with a different name than the one I'm applying under), so although I don't intend direct autofiction, the work will be influenced by my ongoing transition - practice as research in a deep sense.

这种以实践为导向的跨性别写作，身份和主题研究包括创造性和关键性的组成部分：一个正式的创新文学小说，在交叉的叙事层中使用小说来探索当代跨性别经历前和后过渡，特别是在工人阶级的背景下;以及跨性别史前时期跨性别身份表征的研究，为一种新的跨性别文学批评做出贡献。我是跨性别的我自己（也是工薪阶层），通过性别认同服务机构诊断，正在接受激素治疗（我打算用一个不同于我申请的名字毕业），所以虽然我不打算直接写自传，这部作品将受到我正在进行的转型的影响--从深层意义上讲，实践是研究。
