| Abstract: |
Hil Malatino's book, "Side Affects: On Being Trans and Feeling Bad," explores the negative emotions often associated with trans cultural production and experience. The book delves into various trans-specific affective experiences, such as fatigue, numbness, envy, rage, and burnout, and examines how these experiences shape trans individuals. Malatino emphasizes the importance of understanding the messy and complex aspects of transition, challenging normative structures of feeling. The book also addresses topics such as disorientation, envy, rage, burnout, and the intersections of race, gender, and class in the medical industry's limitations on transition. "Side Affects" offers a valuable contribution to feminist, queer, trans, and affect studies, providing a foundation for understanding and analyzing trans embodiment and day-to-day traumas.
