ABSTRACT
By emphasizing ethics and political solidarity, rather than identitarian binary systems, as central to feminist political work, this chapter shows how transgender individuals’ meat non-consumption enables a critique of usages of identity politics within vegetarian ecofeminisms, which are led by Carol J. Adams’s The Sexual Politics of Meat (1990). Drawing on feminist new materialisms and transgender studies, I show how applying the transgender category to vegetarian ecofeminisms can be contributive in expanding ethical and political solidarity within feminist projects that apply gender identity politics to their conceptualizations and argumentations.
