This article argues that Julia Kristeva’s Powers of Horror: an Essay on Abjection lays out a theory that is not universal in its application, but rather details the violent emergence and defence of Eurocentric, colonial and orientalist subjectivities and related hierarchical social orders. The Eurocentrism found in Kristeva’s political and theoretical stances are referenced, with detailed attention paid to explicating how her theory of abjection describes a brutal, colonising, psychological and social mechanism. This framework is applied to transphobia and its manifestations. It is centrally argued that gender diversity, trans rights and trans inclusivity may be the targets of multiple and compounding abjection processes. The essay concludes with looking at how young trans people are starting to refuse transphobic abjection to survive, to thrive and to revitalise gender diversity.

拒绝落寞：跨性别恐惧症和跨性别青年的生存

本文认为 Julia Kristeva 的《恐怖的力量：一篇关于堕落的论文》提出了一个在其应用中并不普遍的理论，而是详细描述了欧洲中心主义、殖民主义和东方主义主体性以及相关的等级社会秩序的暴力出现和捍卫。引用了 Kristeva 在政治和理论立场中发现的欧洲中心主义，并详细解释了她的堕落理论如何描述一种残酷的、殖民的、心理和社会机制。该框架适用于跨性别恐惧症及其表现形式。集中争论的是，性别多样性、跨性别权利和跨性别包容性可能是多重和复合的堕落过程的目标。这篇文章最后探讨了年轻的跨性别者如何开始拒绝跨性别者的下贱以求生存，
