<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black"><font size="3">The
sound of the queer voice has captured the intrigue of the popular and
sociolinguistic imagination, spurring a wave of research investigating
what makes someone “sound gay”. While much research has sought to
uncover the phonetic markers of the (cisgender, White, male) “gay
sounding” voice, only recently has a wave of research begun to
investigate the myriad ways that queer speakers of other gender,
sexual, and racial identities articulate their identities. This panel
continues this trajectory, aiming to: (1) explore how understudied and
marginalized queer identities— including transgender, non-binary, and
non-White identities— are articulated using phonetic,
variationist methods; (2) discuss the implications that the phonetic
patterns of these speakers have on theories of sociolinguistic variation
that are based on White, cisgender, heterosexual speakers and often
taken for granted as if they apply universally;
(3) to explore the consequences of the ways that dominant theories and
methodologies in sociolinguistics don’t account for the full range of
queer experiences. </font></span></p>
