This essay considers the dependency of trans youth by bridging transgender studies with feminist care ethics to emphasize a trans wisdom about solidarity through dependency. The first major section of the essay argues for reworking Sara Ruddick's philosophy of mothering in the context of trans and gender‐creative youth. This requires, first, stressing a more robust interaction among her divisions of preservative love, nurturance for growth, and training for acceptability, and second, creating a more nuanced account of “nature” in relation to nurturance for growth to avoid casting transition as contrary to a trans youth's healthy development. In the second major section of the essay, I depart from Ruddick's framework to emphasize the difference of care for trans youth by trans and/or queer communities and through mutual caregiving, stressing a trans wisdom about dependency and solidarity found in the work of Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson. Turning to Eva Feder Kittay's links between dependency work and equality, I argue that Rivera and Johnson's work contains a distinct knowledge derived from practice necessitating the connection between solidarity and dependency in particular communities. I then call for more work on trans care ethics, trans ethics, and trans wisdom more broadly.

超女性主义护理伦理的基础：萨拉·鲁迪克（Sara Ruddick），跨性别儿童和抚养依赖性

本文通过将跨性别研究与女权主义护理伦理相结合来强调跨性别青年的依赖性，以强调关于通过依赖性实现团结的跨性别智慧。本文的第一节主要论述了在跨性别和性别创造青年的背景下重塑萨拉·鲁迪克的母亲哲学。这就要求首先，要强调其保护性爱，对成长的养育和对可接受性的训练各部门之间的更强有力的互动，其次，要在与对成长的养育有关的方面对“自然”进行更细致的阐述，以避免相反的转变促进跨性别青年的健康发展。在本文的第二个主要部分中，我偏离了拉迪克的框架，强调跨性别者和/或同志社区和相互照料对跨性别青年的照顾差异，强调在西尔维亚·里维拉（Sylvia Rivera）和玛莎·约翰逊（Marsha P. Johnson）的作品中发现的关于依赖和团结的跨性别智慧。关于伊娃·费德·基塔伊（Eva Feder Kittay）在依赖工作和平等之间的联系，我认为里维拉和约翰逊的工作包含从实践中获得的独特知识，这种实践要求在特定社区中团结与依赖之间的联系。然后，我呼吁就跨性别护理伦理，跨伦理和跨智慧进行更广泛的研究。
