This issue of TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly, "Trans-Political
Economy," edited by Dan Irving and Vek Lewis, addresses how
capitalism differentially and unequally affects trans and
sex/gender-diverse people across the globe. "We all, from our
different social and political locations, become implicated in
those architectures through our everyday interactions with a
variety of coordinated and contradictory institutions and
rationalities that order our lives across different local and
global geopolitical spaces and scales," write Lewis and Irving. The
editors of and contributors to this issue reveal how the narrowly
constructed objects of trans studies and political economy (such as
gender, labor, class, and economy) have been complicit in the
necropolitical devaluation of trans lives and existing strategies
crafted for trans survival. Topics include trans visibility and
commodity culture; trans credit reporting; the growing population
of T-girls, trans women truckers; trans street-based sex workers;
the system of sex/gender identification for trans asylum seekers in
South Africa; and waria affective labor in Indonesia. There is also
a roundtable deconstructing trans* political economy. The Arts
& Culture section of this issue features a review of season 7
of RuPaul's Drag Race in relation to certain political-economic
elements of the drag industry as well as an in-depth look at the
representation of transgender lives on film, specifically in Dallas
Buyers Club.
