Description
A Short History of Trans Misogyny by Jules Gill-Peterson is a groundbreaking exploration of the emergence of modern trans misogyny. From the bustling port cities of New York and New Orleans to the streets of London and Paris, historian Jules Gill-Peterson uncovers the complex web of colonialism, military power, and state violence that has shaped the lives of trans women. Gill-Peterson's richly detailed narrative weaves together the stories of historical figures and communities from diverse regions, including the Philippines, Hawai'i, and Latin America. By examining the intersection of trans femininity with colonial governments, sex work industries, policing of public spaces, and informal economies, Gill-Peterson sheds light on why trans women are disproportionately burdened by injustice and hatred. This book offers a bold new vision for the future of intersectional trans feminism, providing a nuanced understanding of the complex historical forces that have led to the current state of affairs.
