Gender, sexuality and the right to a non-projected future: a reply to Camminga
This reply considers themovement of words as discussed in Camminga's article with reference to South Africa's Constitution and its Refugee Act. It explores the value and limitations of performing subjectivities like ‘transgender’ in contexts where these words have been introduced and, in some cases, imposed. This discussion considers the ‘Stigma of Western Words’, as articulated by Camminga, in light of the broader politics of international development and aid conditionality linked to LGBT rights. These politics are contrasted with some of the dynamics underpinning an international development programme that sought to advance LGBT rights and livelihoods, as discussed in the accompanying article on gender, sexuality and the limits of the law.
