Presented by Mills College Trans Studies Speaker Series

In his book The Pink Line, South African journalist Mark Gevisser (A Legacy of Liberation: Thabo Mbeki and the Future of the South African Dream) traces a planet-spanning fissure that runs through the intimate dimensions of life, documenting the sometimes literally war-torn rift zones where so-called "traditional values" are being mobilized by states to combat trans, queer, and feminist social movements.

Join the Mark Gevisser and host Susan Stryker for a conversation about the weaponization of trans issues in these "pink line" struggles.
