BLACK TRANS FEMINISM

Marquis Bey offers a meditation on blackness and gender nonnormativity in ways that recalibrate traditional understandings of each. Theorizing black trans feminism from the vantages of abolition and gender radicality, Bey articulates blackness as a mutiny against racializing categorizations, transness as a nonpredetermined, wayward, and deregulated movement that works toward genders destruction, and black feminism as an epistemological method to fracture hegemonic modes of racialized gender.
