In order to move beyond lip service to difference amongst us, I suggest we instead seek out in-coherence, which is the productive failure to cohere as a self, as a gender, as a race, as a community. This sense of failure need not be dangerous. It can be one very important way of challenging assumptions that somehow we have enough in common to form a we to begin with. Before we can be posited, we must first seek after an elaboration of the ways that we as trans peoples are not only different from each other but, to echo Audre Lorde, are the very site of difference itself.Lorde’s imperative reminds us, especially white trans men, that instead of assuming that our political work is over once we arrive in our chosen genders, we rethink our relation to power. We must, instead, posit that our political work, as whatever kind of men we may find ourselves becoming, is only just beginning. (pgs. 149-150)
