'A brilliant, useful, and immensely moving book that deals a critical blow to the epistemic austerity of our times' - Jordy Rosenberg'Femme' describes a constellation of queer, gendered expressions that uproot expectations of what it means to be feminine. Building upon experiences of transformation, belonging and harm, this book is a transfeminist call for collective liberation.Trans Femme Futures envisions the future through everyday actions that revolutionise our lives. Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift discuss struggles around trans healthcare, the need for collectives over institutions, the importance of mutual care, and transfeminism as abolition.The authors show how social change can be achieved through transformative practices that allow queer life to thrive in a time of climate, health, political and economic crises.

Introduction: Trans liberation is between us1. ‘They would plant the rose garden themselves’: femme, complicity, and the rewiring of the sensuous2. Transfeminist ethics and practices of care3. 'It takes a nation of managers to hold us back': trans liberalism and liberation amid currents of empire4. Medical institutions, collective care5. Abolitionist transfeminist futures: solidarity, generosity and love

'Astute and hopeful, Trans Femme Futures manages to divulge profound theoretical insights of trans liberation as intimate and soulful endeavours of trans living and world making on the margins. Offering up an abolitionist 'transfeminist love-politics' as a practical antidote to the suffocating neoliberal world order, the book is a breath of fresh air amidst stale and moribund, if long rehearsed, existing bad faith discourses on gender and its many troubles'
