This genocidal corporeal violence to trans bodies is part of our society's norms and informs all areas of how we live and be in the world, and is used to create compliance both within transgender people, and those the system identifies as 'correctly normative'

This is especially true since the state allocates resources using a cost/benefit analysis to determine who is or is not a good worker that the state will reward, but the state has already determined transgender lives to be without value, nor does it consider them happy lives to lead.

the Human is not a static definition or category. It exists as a racialized, gedered, classist magined boy and is historically defined, with the boundaries being constantly negotiated. The only way to change such a category is to open up a space where those excluded from teh category can speak to it and challenge the structures of power that define it.
Butler, Judith, 2004, Undoing Gender
