Trans Femme Futures: Abolitionist Ethics for Transfeminist Worlds
Pluto Press, 2024
Trans Femme Futures envisions the future through everyday actions that revolutionise our lives. Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift discuss struggles around trans healthcare, the need for collectives over institutions, the importance of mutual care, and transfeminism as abolition.
The authors show how social change can be achieved through transformative practices that allow queer life to thrive in a time of climate, health, political and economic crises.
“A radical and sensuous ethics of trans femme complicity, collectivity and worldmaking, Raha and van der Drift theorise anti-colonial femmes practices which ‘undo the grip of empire on the soul through the senses’ in this beautiful and necessary work.”
