Bey asks What does it mean to have a gender that matches one's sex - - - that is to be cisgender - - - when decades of feminist theory have destroyed the belief that there is some natural way to be a sex? Moving from the The Powerpuff Girls to the greeting How ya mama n em? to their own gender identity Bey finds that cisgender is too flat as a category to hold the myriad ways that people who may or may not have undergone gender - affirmative interventions depart from gender alignment. At the same time blackness they contend strikes at the heart of cisgender's invariable coding as white: just as transness names a non - cis space blackness implies a non - cis space. By showing how blackness opens up a way to subvert the hegemonic power of the gender binary Bey makes a case for an antiracist gender abolition project that rejects cisgender as a regulatory apparatus.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Cistem Failure Essays On Blackness And Cisgender\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Bey Marquis\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781478018445\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 184 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 8\/2\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: ASTERISK\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Ethnic Studies","brand":"Bey Marquis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49617507582257,"sku":"IN-G-9781478018445","price":21.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781478018445.jpg?v=1724636756","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781478018445-cistem-failure-essays-on-blackness-and-cisgender","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
