In Cistem Failure Marquis Bey meditates on the antagonistic relationship between blackness and cisgender.

The contributors to "Feminism against Cisness" showcase the future of feminist historical, theoretical, and political thought freed from the conceptual strictures of cisness: the fallacy that assigned sex determines sexed experience.
