This panel, featuring Sayan Bhattacharya, Greta LaFleur, and Cole Rizki appeared as a part of a two-panel symposium on March 12, 2026 at UC Davis, “Life Under Threat: Fighting the Rise of Anti-Trans Fascism.” This symposium examines transnational fascist formations: how do institutions and nations regulate gendered bodies and identities? How do state agents, normative logics, and community practices overlap in discussions of survival, care, regret, and reproduction? Treating fascism and violence as processes, logics, and techniques of control, the speakers of this symposium situate trans health, medicine, ethics, and activism in conversations about bodies, identities, and systems of power.
