On Trans Philosophy's Methods

In this written dialogue, four trans philosophers remix and expand on a panel discussion held at the 2025 Thinking Trans//Trans Thinking Conference that explored the pressing issue of trans philosophy's methods, building on an ongoing discussion in the literature. The panel and this text represent an extended and ongoing discussion between the authors. The authors are committed to neither methodological uniformity nor systematicity. Nevertheless, their embrace of pluralism leads to notable convergences regarding the basic sense that trans philosophy has a political dimension, the notion of philosophical rigor, and the need for reflexivity about trans philosophy's methods.
