Abstract

Travis Alabanza is a Black British transfeminine author and playwright, best known for their play Burgerz and their memoir None of the Above. This article places these works in conversation with the politics of radical transfeminism, a community-centred ethos which places above all the needs of marginalised transfeminine people, as they pertain to law and society. It engages themes of identity, violence, and legal regulation, and argues for a liberatory approach to trans life which does not depend on legal recognition for its legitimacy. It also discusses how radical transfeminism approaches intersectional forms of discrimination such as transmisogynoir by positing a different approach to legal and social structures.

那些有幸超越性别的人：特拉维斯-阿拉班扎、激进的跨女性主义与法律

特拉维斯-阿拉班扎是英国黑人变性女作家和剧作家，最著名的作品是话剧《汉堡包》（Burgerz）和回忆录《以上皆非》（None of the Above）。这篇文章将这些作品与激进的变性女性主义政治进行对话，激进的变性女性主义是一种以社区为中心的精神，它将边缘化的变性女性的需求放在首位，因为这些需求与法律和社会相关。它涉及身份、暴力和法律监管等主题，主张以一种自由的方式对待变性生活，这种生活的合法性并不依赖于法律承认。它还讨论了激进的变性女性主义如何通过对法律和社会结构提出不同的方法来处理跨性别歧视等交叉形式的歧视。

期刊介绍： Feminist Legal Studies is committed to an internationalist perspective and to the promotion and advancement of feminist scholarship in all areas of law. It aims to publish critical, interdisciplinary, theoretically engaged feminist scholarship relating to law (broadly conceived) and has a particular interest in work that extends feminist debates and analysis by reference to critical and theoretical approaches and perspectives, including postcolonial, transnational and poststructuralist work. Although the focus of the journal is law, the editorial board encourages the submission of papers from people working outside the academy, as well as academics other than lawyers as well as interdisciplinary work addressing the concerns not only of lawyers but others, women and men, interested in feminist work. The editorial board is a collective drawn from feminists working at leading law schools across the UK. A full list of the editorial board can found on the Journal’s website: http://www.springer.com/law/international/journal/10691?detailsPage=editorialBoardAlongside traditional articles and book reviews Feminist Legal Studies is committed to publishing material that challenges conventional forms of academic writing/knowledge and encourages creative approaches to scholarship, analysis and debate. Such material is normally published in our “Creative Content” section (see Instructions for Authors for more details). The board also welcomes proposals for themed issues of the journal.
