Description
Side Affects On Being Trans and Feeling Bad by Hil Malatino
This book explores the often-overlooked negative emotions that can accompany being trans, such as fatigue, envy, burnout, numbness, and rage. By acknowledging these feelings, Malatino argues that we can create a more nuanced understanding of trans experience and develop new strategies for survival and well-being.
Malatino contends that the suppression of negative emotions can have serious consequences for trans individuals, particularly those who are already marginalized by society. In this book, she proposes an affective trans commons that exists outside of political debates about inclusion, and offers a powerful framework for justice-oriented advocacy and organizing.
