Working with other queer Jewish anti-Zionists in Israel/Palestine convinced me that anti-imperial solidarity scholarship is needed to undo the homonationalist call for trans-inclusive militarism more broadly. The dire state of anti-trans attacks in the U.S. and attacks on Palestinians are often positioned as separate, when they in fact feed off one another. Liberal agendas in the U.S. today seek trans inclusion in the military in a panicked response to rampant transphobia, precluding a critical questioning of the morality of their enlistment. In my research, I will interrogate how the deviance of transness further problematizes this political demand. I am also interested in exploring the need for a political vocabulary that envisions diasporic Jewish futures outside of the context of an apartheid state.
