In Narratives on Carceral Abolition author Linda Mussell explores narratives discussing the violence experienced at the hands of police, the interconnectedness with other carceral institutions such as courts and prisons, and the pursuit of abolition from a first-hand perspective that understands that criminalized trans women must be leaders within abolitionist and decolonial communities. The chapter explores topics such as the erasure of trans narratives in cisdominated communities and literature and exploitation of transwomen and people for “sexualization, voyeurism, sensationalism, and fetishization” through three narratives by three transgender women.
