Countering hegemonic understandings of rage as a deleterious emotion, this article examines rage across specific sites of trans cultural production—the prison letters of CeCe McDonald and the durational performance art of Cassils—in order to argue that it is integral to trans survival and flourishing. Theorizing rage as a justified response to unlivable circumstances, a response that plays a key role in enabling trans subjects to detach from toxic relational dynamics in order to transition toward other forms of gendered subjectivity and intimate communality, I develop an account of what I call an “infrapolitical ethics of care” that indexes a web of communal practices that empathetically witness and amplify rage, as well as support subjects during and after moments of grappling with overwhelming negative affect. I draw on the work of trans, queer, and feminist theorists who have theorized the productivities of so‐called “negative” affects, particularly Sara Ahmed's work on willfulness and killing joy (2010,2014), María Lugones's writing on anger (2003), Judith Butler's Spinozan reassessment of the vexed relations between self‐preservation and self‐destruction (2015), and the rich account of trans rage provided by Susan Stryker (1994).

艰难的休息：运输狂暴与恢复力的培养

与霸权主义对愤怒作为一种有害情绪的理解相反，本文考察了跨文化生产的特定场所的愤怒-塞西·麦克唐纳的监禁信和卡西尔的持续表演艺术-以证明它是跨性别生存和繁荣不可或缺的部分。从理论上讲，愤怒是对不宜生活环境的合理回应，这种回应在使跨性别主体摆脱有毒的关系动态从而过渡到其他形式的性别主观性和亲密社区方面起着关键作用，我对此做出了解释。 “照护下的政治伦理”，索引了一系列共情地见证和扩大愤怒的社区实践网络，并在与压倒性负面影响作斗争的时刻和之后支持受试者。我利用跨性别，酷儿，2010,2014），玛丽亚·卢贡涅斯（MaríaLugones）的愤怒著作（2003），朱迪思·巴特勒（Judith Butler）的斯宾诺赞（Spinozan）对自我保护与自我毁灭之间烦恼关系的重新评估（2015），以及苏珊·斯特瑞克（Susan Stryker）（1994）提供的丰富的著作权。
