Resisting gender fascism

Sharp, Wiley, Sarah Fogel, Eden Kinkaid, and Nick Koenig. 2025. “Resisting gender fascism.” The Geographical Journal (forthcoming): 1–8.

In this commentary, we explore the implications of the 2024 US elections for four key areas of trans lives: the body, public space, legal geographies and mobility. While we focus on the United States, we situate anti-trans politics within emerging fascist movements around the world, recognising that the 2024 US election has impacts beyond the national borders. We conclude with a brief meditation about what resurgent gender fascism means for Geography, arguing that geographers have an ethical and intellectual obligation to protect trans lives and resist fascism.
