Crossing the River

Columbus did not discover America in 1492, but it was the beginning of colonialism that also brought the colonial thinking of the two-gender system & othering. Crossing the river is not only about people from Mexico, Central- and South America trying to cross the border to the United States looking for a better life, but also about Transpeople crossing the gender border. The recent developments in the USA in dealing with indigenous people, whom they call migrants and/or trans people, are just the consequences that have been apparent for a long time.
