Abstract
This article explores the entangled relations between transgender lives and Chinese feminisms. It starts with a brief overview of how nonbinary genders have been addressed in both Chinese socialist and postsocialist feminisms. Then it outlines existing problems such as homophobia and remarginalization within the coalition of trans activists and feminists. By analyzing how grassroots trans/feminists negotiate such problems, this article argues that trans/feminist praxis transgresses subjective, intellectual, and political borders and calls for more critical feminist engagements in Chinese trans activism and knowledge production.
