Description
Trans Care challenges dominant modes of conceiving and critiquing care, arguing that normative and cis-centric familial structures entrench inequality. This critical intervention rethinks how care labor and ethics have been thought, highlighting the need for radical change.
A necessary response to widespread transphobia and systemic exclusion, Trans Care explores how trans subjects and communities cultivate care practices in the face of adversity. By examining failures of care and alternative approaches, this book offers a serious consideration of trans survival and flourishing.
