Should we comment on COVID-19? What are the dangers of trying to bring these pandemics into conversation? What can we not yet think or know about COVID-19? In the AIDS intro we discuss the ongoing need to rethink AIDS—we wrote: “Have we begun to ask good questions about AIDS?”—and then everywhere we see coronavirus testing and quarantining graphed with infection and death rates; countries and demographics becoming axes. Many of our contributors start experiencing the effects of COVID-19: some test positive for the coronavirus; friends and family become sick; everyone is in lockdown, and in the deteriorating mental and physical health of quarantine, deadlines become impossible. Crisis provokes a response: asking better questions is replaced with offering quick solutions—what Elaine Scarry, invoking Hannah Arendt, refers to as “emergency thinking” (2012: 19). And yet, having just put together this special issue on AIDS, we cannot help but notice the echoes. COVID-19 exposes and renews the entrenchment of racism and antiblackness in health care, social services, and the US national response. Media outlets report that people with preexisting health conditions and limited access to health care are especially vulnerable, with demographics showing an unequal impact of COVID-19 on Black and brown communities. Antiblackness is carceral; not surprisingly prisons are the most concentrated sites of COVID-19. Perhaps what AIDS and COVID-19 share is antiblackness and racism. Might COVID-19 be a reiteration of these US legacies? COVID-19 has occurred amidst ritualized state sanctioned murder and warfare against Black people by police, from Breonna Taylor to the shooting of Jacob Blake. The moment of COVID-19 has also been one of waves of sustained activism—daily marches and actions against antitrans","PeriodicalId":44767,"journal":{"name":"TSQ-Transgender Studies Quarterly","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88501976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this essay the author argues that antiblack racism is the nexus for critically thinking the epidemiology of trans and HIV/AIDS, not simply black trans people's disparate suffering. Antiblackness has been paradigmatic and fundamental to the structural relations of domination and violence that have organized both group vulnerability to exposure to HIV and the ecologies of human susceptibility to illness and disease through which HIV has dispersed historically. Thus, within the public-health surveillance category “transgender,” racial disparities in HIV prevalence and incidence rates point toward the true paradigm for thinking HIV/AIDS as an epidemic and the enfoldment of trans people within it.","PeriodicalId":44767,"journal":{"name":"TSQ-Transgender Studies Quarterly","volume":"234 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83455596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Explicating the how and why of decisions to remove organs of oppression, systems that engender violence, and individual nodules of violence, the letter details the scientists' work in remaking the future into a space and place where trans thrives. The letter also delineates how the trans sciences that unite the collective—experiments in building and reworking the self/body through (re-)mappings of community, ways of being in the world, and networks of care that challenge larger social orders—involve unique temporal and geographical expertise. The letter details how this unique expertise, which emerges through ongoing labors challenging the construction of trans - “modern,” identifying the work of quick and slow systemic violences, and mapping community and connectivity well outside understandings that join family with blood with the domestic, led to the collective's nomination for the surgery in the first place. Finally, the letter details processes necessary to the future's recovery and also extends love to this future, the multitudes it contains, and its emergent connectivities between trans and justice.","PeriodicalId":44767,"journal":{"name":"TSQ-Transgender Studies Quarterly","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89132884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
