Abstract
ABSTRACTThe physical environment is often used as a tool to construct, validate, and express identity. This article presents findings from a study that explored the person—place dynamics of a unique landscape: Transy House. Transy house is a trans-dominated communal house for trans women where residents usurped and controlled a defined socio-spatial territory. Tight links were found between individual resident's identity and bedroom decor and between the collective identity of the house and the common areas. Additionally, the concept of a transcape is introduced as a place for people who transgress gender norms to restore and empower their identities through spatial tactics.
