IMAGINING A TRANSFEMME FUTURE IS AN ACT OF REVOLUTION

Join us for a vital discussion of *Trans Femme Futures: Abolitionist Ethics for Transfeminist Worlds* (Pluto Press, 2025). Authors Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift will be in conversation around the perspectives opened by their work.

"A brilliant, useful, and immensely moving book that deals a critical blow to the epistemic austerity of our times" – Jordy Rosenberg

‘Femme’ describes a constellation of queer, gendered expressions that uproot expectations of what it means to be feminine. Building upon experiences of transformation, belonging and harm, this book is a transfeminist call for collective liberation.

*Trans Femme Futures* envisions the future through everyday actions that revolutionise our lives. Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift discuss struggles around trans healthcare, the need for collectives over institutions, the importance of mutual care, and transfeminism as abolition.

The authors show how social change can be achieved through transformative practices that allow queer life to thrive in a time of climate, health, political and economic crises.
