Abstract [en]

The following essay examines The black tides of Heaven by Neon Yang and its trans representation through a trans reading. The essay is based on research questions involving trans representation and how these representations challenge cisnormative ideas of gender and body and how fantasy is a possibility for trans stories. Throughout the essay, the novella is discussed from different topics such as trans as starting point, trans bodies and depathologisation, the novella as a decolonial work, and trans representation, exit scapes and a trans fantasy alliance. From this analysis, I can conclude that there are multiple disruptive representations of trans, making it an important piece of trans text and also in giving hope and comfort to trans readers.
