Browsing Ada: A Journal of Gender, New Media, and Technology; Issue no. 12: Radical Speculation and Ursula K. Le Guin (November 2017) by Author "Aizura, Aren Z."
In this essay I combine a reading of The Left Hand of Darkness with autobiographical accounts of queer/trans reproduction and childrearing. Contrasting my own experiments in “50/50” parenting with the vision of care elaborated in the novel, I draw attention to the importance of caring labor to radical queer and trans politics more generally.
