Truly impactful book that should be on everyone’s “must read” list - Stanley’s excavation of archive, care with curation of trans lives, and theorization of queer/trans existence in the world (as it is negated, made ungovernable, etc) traverses a history of violence not as merely acts themselves but the atmospheric variables that allow for and made room for such violence to occur.
Note: content warnings are about events Stanley uses as case studies within each chapter. The events are described with details pertaining to conclusions and analysis that are being made - not romanticized for narrative sake.
