Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Choirs are lauded for their psychological, physiological, and social-emotional benefits. For 2SLGBTQ+ people (two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and expansive gender and sexual identities), choir is a place to forge kinship, develop identity, and rally for political action, regardless of whether the choir labels itself as a 2SLGBTQ+ choir. Transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming (hereafter shortened to trans+) singers have limited access to these benefits when they encounter transphobia, misgendering, and gender dysphoria in choir. Previous research on the experiences of trans+ singers has focused on mechanisms of harm. In this article I examine the experiences of five trans+ singers in 2SLGBTQ+ choirs, exploring the choral contexts in which they experience gender euphoria—a feeling of alignment in one’s gender. The shared narratives explore how choral participation can support trans+ people’s sense of gender euphoria.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
