Abstract

In this essay, I place Black trans* and Black feminist theorists from across the Améfricas in conversation to consider a question: is a Black woman who was classified as female at birth the same as a white woman who was classified as female at birth? I argue that the emergence of the unmarked "cisgender" category as an identity and social marker in hegemonic (i.e. white dominated) debates about gender diversity and inequality undermines the interventions and political denouncements of Black trans*, Black feminist, and Blackgender gender- and sexual-dissidents.
 Blackness, gender, sexuality, trans*, Black feminism
