"This Is Where You Fall off My Map": Trans-Spectrum Spatialities in Washington, DC, Safety, and the Refusal to Submit

Abstract:
This article explores how "safety" and "safe space," as a somatic, psychic, or affective freedom from harm and a kind of experiential "health," is constructed in transgender, transsexual, and gender-nonconforming (henceforth trans (1) ) persons in community-produced maps of Washington, DC as a "trans city." These maps, and their associated narratives, provide the only up-to-date data available on the lived experience of trans populations living in the District, a city quickly gaining notoriety for systemic brutality against trans feminine people of color.
