Centering the lives, experiences, and murders of transwomen activists Marsha P. Johnson and Duanna Johnson, this chapter explores the migration stories of black women across the Black Map. Emphasizing the importance of intersectionality, the authors highlight the role of race, gender violence, and homophobia in black life and politics. Focused on the connections across space and time, this chapter demonstrates the key role transwomen and women of color play in the politics and migrations of black people throughout the chocolate cities.

The book’s conclusion, “Speculative Futures,” revalues the biopic’s importance for contemporary queer and trans cinema. It, moreover, argues that the biopic genre provides a form for telling the stories of lives excluded from dominant history. Readings of Happy Birthday, Marsha! (Tourmaline and Sasha Wortzel, 2018) and Salacia (Tourmaline, 2019) illustrate the biopic’s ability to construct speculative personal histories. Moreover, such speculative constructions provide depictions of queer and trans lives where adequate archival sources do not exist. While this book begins at the AIDS crisis, it ends by recognizing that we still live in the AIDS era and queer and transfilmmakers continue to transform the biopic.Less
