About this listen

In 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 gender's destruction; and black feminism as an epistemological method to fracture hegemonic modes of racialized gender. In readings of the essays, interviews, and poems of Alexis Pauline Gumbs, jayy dodd, and Venus Di'Khadijah Selenite, Bey turns black trans feminism away from a politics of gendered embodiment and toward a conception of it as a politics grounded in fugitivity and the subversion of power. Together, blackness and transness actualize themselves as on the run from gender. In this way, Bey presents black trans feminism as a mode of enacting the wholesale dismantling of the world we have been given.

A meditation of BTF love

This book holds deeply important works. Reading it felt like it was written with worlds of love and the black trans feminist bounty that can so readily spring from love
I listened slowly over a few weeks at the end of my day and processed,felt so much, received deeper inspiration, better questions and considered and care filled analysis and work. Upon finishing im already excited to return to this after some space and other texts
Beautiful text. Gratitude to Marquis Bey for vesseling and gifting this work
