Excellent- More about Side Affects: On Being Trans and Feeling Bad
Hil Malatino's book Side Affects explores the "bad feelings" of trans experience and how they inform trans survival and flourishing. Negative emotions are often suppressed due to the fear of rejection or reinforcement of phobic framings. Malatino proposes an affective trans commons that exists outside political debates and acknowledges powerful and elided feelings such as anger and exhaustion as critical to motivating justice-oriented advocacy and organizing.

Some days, weeks, months, or even years being trans can feel bad. However, as Hil Malatino points out, there is little space for trans people to think through or speak about these bad feelings. Negative emotions are suspect because they unsettle narratives of acceptance or reinforce virulently phobic framings of trans as inauthentic and threatening.
In Side Affects, Malatino opens a new conversation about trans experience that acknowledges the reality of feeling fatigued, envious, burned out, numb, and rage amid the ongoing onslaught of casual and structural transphobia in order to map the intricate emotional terrain of trans survival. Trans structures of feeling are frequently coded as negative on both sides of transition. Before transition, narratives are framed in terms of childhood trauma and being in the "wrong body." Posttransition, trans individuals, especially trans people of color, are subject to unrelenting transantagonism. Yet trans individuals are discouraged from displaying or admitting to despondency or despair.
By moving these unloved feelings to the center of trans experience, Side Affects proposes an affective trans commons that exists outside political debates about inclusion. Acknowledging such powerful and elided feelings as anger and exhaustion, Malatino contends, is critical to motivating justice-oriented advocacy and organizing—and recalibrating new possibilities for survival and well-being.
