ABSTRACT
Opening with a reflection on lesbian invisibility, “Lesbian Vitality: A Provocation” challenges the idea of lesbian erasure, particularly when it is used in relationship to transgender people. Arguing for a multiplicity of lesbian identities and spaces for capacious lesbian formations, the author draws from the history of the periodical Sinister Wisdom and her experiences editing it to call for lesbian vitality as an alternative to erasure and as a focus for lesbian and queer women’s community-making and cultural production.
