In a few double-spaced paragraphs, answer the following reading response questions based on our readings. You should use specific examples from the readings to support your analysis and cite those examples according to your discipline’s guidelines. 

1. Audre Lorde, Cherrié Moraga and the Combahee River Collective all sought to force the white feminist movement to contend with the issues of race that condition their treatment as women. Using the Moraga and CRC writings as examples, explain Lorde’s claim that “the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change.”

2. How does disidentification (as explained by José Muñoz) serve as a survival tactic for queers of color? For extra points, use Manalansan’s interview with diasporic Fillipinos to support your claim.

3. What techniques do Jules Gill-Peterson and Elías Cosenza Krell advocate for seeing and supporting trans of color life? How do these tactics draw upon the pre-existing theoretical work of feminists of color?
