This book applies a framework of 'trans vitalities' through an
ethnographically-anchored exploration of trans coalitional labor
and activism in Washington, DC. Specifically, it considers how
trans social justice work at the local level exemplifies why and
how the notions of 'trans community' or 'trans rights' must be
reconfigured. Trans vitalities, as a framework developed in this
volume, functions in three particular ways: 1) to disrupt and
rethink what valuable, viable, or quantifiable quality of life
looks like; 2) to shift our understandings of community towards
'coalition'; and 3) as a methodological, theoretical, and
application-based set of tools that integrates a radical trans
politics and community-based approach towards addressing trans
lives. Trans Vitalities incorporates one-on-one interviews,
community map-making projects, and an analysis of the DC Trans
Needs Assessment, produced through trans coalitional labor. An
accessible case study for both how to research trans-specific
topics and how to apply a framework of trans vitalities, this book
is valuable reading for those who research or instruct on LGBTQ
topics as well as activists, policy makers, and law makers.
