None of this occurs in a vacuum. Violence echoes. The attacks on transgender people are intimately tied to the current waves of deportations and the fall of Roe v. Wade, which are part of a larger crackdown on bodily autonomy. Rights are won, and then they are stripped away. For many trans people, this ambivalent dependence on the state is both a privilege and a weakness. We are tied to a political machine that ultimately does not want us. For years, we have been forced to work out creative solutions to bureaucratic snafus; we have celebrated hard-fought victories that often turn out to be short-lived. The state will not save us, we joke, even as we fear that it may very well try to extinguish us.

“Although psychoanalysis won’t tell us how to strategize the revolution, we can still speculate: how can it still be useful for militants? What new possibilities can unfold from investigating the relations between psychoanalysis and political praxis?”
