摘要
在s e x a n d t h e C I t y(200 0)的3 o f中,Samantha搬进了纽约市迅速绅士化的肉类加工区一套每月7000美元的公寓。在一系列现在臭名昭著的场景中,她与三名黑人跨性别女性对峙,她们在凌晨的性工作让她歇斯底里。萨曼莎在早午餐时惊呼道:“我没花一大笔钱就住在一个白天时髦,晚上时髦的社区。”。她解决这个问题的第一个尝试是在询问女性是否愿意搬到另一个街区之前,先赞美她们的长相,以此来讨好她们。(讲述Carrie Bradshaw:“Samantha总是知道如何与男人相处,即使他们是半个女人。”。“我是一名纳税公民,也是青年妇女商业协会的成员!我不必忍受这一切!”她在发射液体炮弹前对自己咆哮道。随后,一辆警车出现在街上,萨曼莎得意洋洋地看着黑人跨性别女性继续前行。正如该剧的当代粉丝公开承认的那样,这一集在过去20年里并没有特别老。1当该剧推出续集《就这样》时,扮演萨曼莎的金·卡特拉尔选择不回来。但是,我认为,这种衰老的时间标志意味着,代表跨性别者,尤其是黑人跨性别女性的传统,已经跨越了所谓的跨性别临界点,将种族化的跨性别女性气质和性工作视为笑柄,与实际的社会死亡和物质脆弱性相勾结。2除此之外,我们还可以补充一点,跨性别女性是当代道德恐慌雪崩的主题,这些恐慌会带来更恶毒的幻想
