Trans people remain strangers and outcasts within much of the contemporary discourses of insurrectionary feminism. Essays about "male-bodied" perpetrators of sexual assault and "socialized men and women" seem to leave much to be analyzed about the ways in which trans people have historically related the functioning of gender systems and the development of capitalism as a system. It is in this context that we discursively intervene with that which we might term insurrectionary trans-feminism, an analysis which distinctively analyzes the ways in which trans bodies relate to the legacy of capitalism and the possibilities of living communism and spreading anarchy.
