ABSTRACT
This chapter represents the co-authors’ stories to showcase how their relationships to food represent ongoing negotiations of queerness in/across the lines of differences (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, and the body). Specifically, this is the collaboration happening between a white transmasculine queer person and an Asian cismale effeminate queer person to come together over food to unpack brief moments of coalitional possibilities. The everyday practices of food and nutrition, performed by queer people, implicate their (dis)identifications with the politics of healthism that privilege the normative power relations. Hence, this chapter gestures toward reviving intersectional, multidimensional queer politics.
