Week 1, Day 3 of #TransLoveNov - CeCe McDonald

11/3/2016

Picture of CeCe McDonald

On the third day of #TransLoveNov, I send my love to CeCe McDonald, who took her experience of an unjust incarceration for defending herself against racist and transphobic violence and put it into prison abolition work. Her story is immortalized in the documentary FREE CECE! produced by none other than Laverne Cox.

With love and in solidarity.

About that asterisk: This website uses the asterisk (*) as a linguistic disruption of sorts that shifts the meaning of words to intentionally reference from a trans perspective (e.g., trans*form). In most cases, it is not used after the word "trans" as is becoming common in many spaces (see this article for an explanation of the etymology and meaning of trans*), except when directly cited or is part of an already published piece. This is to honor the ongoing discussions and tensions amongst trans communities regarding the use/misuse of the asterisk. See, the following three articles to learn about some of these discussions and tensions: by Julia Serano, by the Trans Student Educational Resources, and by Practical Androgyny.
