Picture of Dr. Kai M. Green
On day 16 of #TransLoveNov, I send my love to my brother Kai. Dr. Kai M. Green entered my life and agreed to sit on my dissertation committee, but his role in my life exponentially grew after that. Kai is someone that embodies what it means to operationalize love in accountability and another person that holds space for complexity in others. He is also the kind of scholactivist I can only aspire to be one day, the kind of instructor that pushes you to/through your intellectual limit, invested in Black liberation through Black Youth Project 100 and every space he's in, a cultural producer, writes for several online platforms (e.g., Feminist Wire, Everyday Feminism), and is unapologetically free.

With love and in solidarity
#TransLoveNov

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.
