Chabóchi Doll

By féi hernandez

CHAB CHI DOLL is the trans homegirl that keeps it real and doesn't fear cracking citizenship by the neck.

Part auto-fiction, part manifesto, f i ik shumar 's CHAB CHI DOLL snaps the present moment in America tainted by the persecution of undocumented and native bodies, extensive trans legislation seeking to seize the livelihood of trans people, all while negotiating the radicalness of her joy and two-spirited embodiment, when confronted with a brain tumor diagnosis.

With laughable sass, switchblade precision, and exquisite analysis, these coming-of-age-at-thirty essays turn womanhood, citizenship, and disability on their head. From a confrontation with TSA to sexual escapades with Ethical Fuckboys, these essays weave us through the multi-layered reality of a woman unwilling to surrender. Whether it's critiquing the faulty strategies of citizen activists or differentiating a drag queen from a trans woman, shumar does it with exquisite generosity, fists squared up, and a whole lot of eye rolling.
