Looking from a critical race perspective at Wittig’s lesbian, in this article, I draw two conclusions. First, I suggest that it is actually trans exclusionary lesbians' own transphobia that makes them cis-gendered. And second, it becomes clear that the politicisation of choosing and refusing gender needs to acknowledge racism’s shaping role in the construction of gender. My approach not only intervenes in transphobic feminisms that are obsessed with simplistic understandings of sexual violence, but also questions rigid cis/trans binaries and rejects accounts of trans/gender that ignore the role of racialisation for the emergence of gender. The main question that I address is: how to conceptualise the complex im/possibilities of refusing and choosing in relation to gender? It is my aim to connect seemingly disparate knowledge productions on genderqueer, trans and other ‘impossible’ genders and sexualities. I am particularly interested in a phenomenon that can be described as ‘lesbian haunting’: the ambivalences one will find in tracing lesbian theory in relation to transing gender. With this, it is my attempt to rethink lesbian, queer and trans feminist approaches on violence, and to investigate the role of sexual violence within broader concepts of violence. More specifically, in order to understand both ‘gender’ and ‘transing gender’ as always already racialised, my approach builds on theories that identify ‘ungendering’ as an effect of normative racial violence (e.g. Spillers, 1987; Lewis, 2017; Snorton, 2017).

拒绝和选择性别的可能性

在这篇文章中，从批判种族的角度看待维蒂格的女同性恋，我得出两个结论。首先，我认为实际上是跨性别排斥的女同性恋者自己的跨性别恐惧症使他们成为顺式性别。其次，很明显，选择和拒绝性别的政治化需要承认种族主义在性别建构中的塑造作用。我的方法不仅干预了痴迷于对性暴力的简单理解的跨性别女权主义，而且还质疑严格的顺式/反式二元论，并拒绝忽略种族化对性别出现的作用的跨性别/性别的描述。我要解决的主要问题是：如何概念化与性别有关的拒绝和选择的复杂不可能/可能性？我的目标是将看似不同的关于性别酷儿、跨性别和其他“不可能”的性别和性行为的知识产品联系起来。我对一种可以被描述为“女同性恋困扰”的现象特别感兴趣：人们在追踪与变性相关的女同性恋理论时会发现矛盾。借此，我试图重新思考女同性恋、酷儿和跨性别女权主义对暴力的态度，并在更广泛的暴力概念中调查性暴力的作用。更具体地说，为了理解“性别”和“变性性别”总是已经被种族化，我的方法建立在将“非性别化”确定为规范种族暴力的影响的理论（例如 Spillers，1987；Lewis，2017；Snorton， 2017）。
