Después de lo trans

Even the pussy of the trans. This is Elizabeth Duval. Tired of being the very young activist before the writer or the philosopher. She is fed up and from that same hatred is born the rage that moves this book, the last of her efforts to get rid of the sambenito of the trans. But this is not an autofiction, much less a pamphlet that can be repeated without digesting. After the trans is a visceral and ambitious essay that hits the marrow of the cultural and identity wars of our century. The author plans on the trans to look at it from science, sociology, aesthetics and philosophy. She searches for its meaning and detects its limits. What is it? A collective, an adjective, a process of assimilation or the path to a genderless utopia? With relentless criticism and razor-sharp prose, Duval explores these issues and their usefulness in accounting for the diverse and incongruous reality of trans. Elizabeth Duval undertakes in these pages an intellectual tour de force that crosses gender socialization and the notion of self-determination. She that she analyzes the conflictive relationship between transactivism and transexclusive feminism. That she takes a position between the cultural left and the neo-materialist left. That she attends to the representation of the trans in fiction through Veneno. That she faces the work of Paul B. Preciado and the constant attempts at legislation. And yet, she creates a work that does not hesitate to offer a collective horizon where justice, love and affections fit.
