Refusal, effacement, and non-belonging
Anti-trans/gender1 discourses have attained a significant presence in social and political life. Transphobia and transantagonism are perpetuated through explicit and implicit utterances, encoded altruistically as concerns for women’s rights, children’s safety, LGB rights – Reality itself.
