Dean Spade Quotes

Many people who are drawn to work about racism and transphobia may be new to thinking deeply about colonialism and indigenous resistance in their North America Picture Quote #1

Choosing an agenda that supports the apparatuses of racial violence always pays better Picture Quote #1

Military inclusion has never been a central demand from trans populations, who consistently name criminalization, immigration enforcement, poverty and joblessness as top priorities Picture Quote #1

More conservative advocacy work often encourages portrayals of trans people as people who deserve rights. Deservingness, of course, corresponds to national racial, gender and ability norms Picture Quote #1

I am interested in recent scholarly work examining the emergence of women’s studies and ethnic studies departments and the development of the neoliberal university Picture Quote #1

It feels like every person is using their whole brain and heart to figure out these nearly impossible dilemmas about how we do our work, with our principles, in the current conditions. And it feels like the thing we know to be true about working collectively - that we have better ideas together than we do individually Picture Quote #1

My work is heavily influenced by critiques that many critical intellectual traditions, especially Critical Race Theory, have made of reform projects focused on legal equality Picture Quote #1

I am interested in recent scholarly work examining the emergence of women’s studies and ethnic studies departments and the development of the neoliberal university Picture Quote #1

I argue that legal equality has failed resistance movements aimed at transforming material conditions of violence, and that trans activists should take a decidedly different approach Picture Quote #1

Legal reform organizations are usually trying to portray their constituents as hard workers, as not criminals, as citizens, as part of normative family arrangements, and as conforming to white norms as much as possible. When these strategies are used, the most dangerous conditions and the people who are most vulnerable cannot be discussed or addressed Picture Quote #1

The point for me is to create relationships based on deeper and more real notions of trust. So that love becomes defined not by sexual exclusivity, but by actual respect, concern, commitment to act with kind intentions, accountability for our actions, and a desire for mutual growth Picture Quote #1

Let’s be gentle with ourselves and each other and fierce as we fight oppression Picture Quote #1

Power is not a matter of one dominant individual or institutions, but instead manifests in interconnected, contradictory sites where regimes of knowledge and practice circulate and take hold. This way of understanding the dispersion of power helps us realize that power is not simply about certain individuals being targeted for death or exclusion by a ruler, but instead about the creation of norms that distribute vulnerability and security Picture Quote #1
