This article narrativizes a walking go-along interview I, a cis white queer man, completed with JS, a Black trans young woman, while walking to the Christopher Street Pier in the West Village of New York City. The narrative form of this piece works to think against white- and cis-normative senses of time-keeping and place-making by illuminating how our bodies and social positions were perceived in relationship to each other and the environs of the go-along. While the Pier has long been an important public and community space for trans and queer Black and Latinx communities, especially young people, it has concurrently faced waves of gentrification that have made this place inhospitable to these communities. Giving an account of this walking interview through this contested area attends to JS’s experience and perception of place, community, history, and safety, including the ways it aligns and is in tension with my own and others’ experiences and perceptions of the Pier and its surroundings.

这篇文章叙述了一个步行采访我，一个顺式白人酷儿，完成了 JS，一个黑人跨性别年轻女人，同时步行到纽约市西村的克里斯托弗街码头。这件作品的叙事形式通过阐明我们的身体和社会地位在彼此之间的关系以及沿途的环境中是如何被感知的，从而反抗白人和顺式规范的计时和场所意识。虽然码头长期以来一直是跨性别和酷儿黑人和拉丁裔社区，尤其是年轻人的重要公共和社区空间，但它同时面临着绅士化浪潮，这使得这个地方对这些社区不友好。通过这个有争议的区域讲述这次步行采访，关注 JS 对地方、社区、历史的经验和看法，
