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.
