The Waves: Gender, Relationships, Feminism

CHAPTER

The Intersectionality of Racism and Transphobia

In this chapter, they discuss the intersectionality of racism and transphobia and how it affects women who do not conform to society's narrow ideals. They talk about the pressure on female athletes to present as feminine to please external bodies, and how transphobia also affects cisgender women by imposing expectations on their femininity. They reflect on whether things have gotten better or worse, but conclude that it feels worse due to regressive laws and the ongoing culture war. They express hope that these cycles of oppression will pass and emphasize the importance of collective action and solidarity.
