Borders to kill: Authoritarianism and homo-trans phobias

Authors

  • Giancarlo Cornejo Universidad de California, Berkeley

Abstract

This essay seeks to explore a particular form of homophobia, which I call “homo-transphobia,” that specifically affects trans communities. I analyze a specific case concerning the kidnapping
and torture of a transvestite sex worker and client in Peru 2009. Towards this end, this study maps the homo-transphobic efforts of establishing bodily, spatial and national borders in order to both expose and critique them.
