TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Coloniality of white feminism and its transphobia: a comment on Burt JO - Feminist criminology A1 - Upadhyay, Nishant SP - 539 EP - 544 VL - 16 IS - 4 N2 - In this comment, I challenge Burt's colonial epistemological framework in her theorizations of sex, gender, and transness. Drawing upon anti-racist, decolonial, and trans of color feminisms, I argue that transphobia is inherent to white feminisms due to its roots in colonialism. Heteropatriarchy and cisnormativity are products of colonialism, and feminists who espouse transphobic discourses invariably reproduce colonial and white supremacist frameworks of patriarchy and gender violence.
