“…To mitigate anticipated erasure, NBBW intentionally ordered their pronouns, placing the more salient and potentially more often erased pronoun first. Such evinces the salience of self-naming and self-definition as a liberative BQFT tradition in subverting controlling images (Giovanni, 1971). However, usage of both pronouns remains important.…”

“…In response to oppressive social and political characterizations and the subsequent subjugation of Black women, BQFT asserts the urgency of self-definition and self-naming praxis. Self-definition, or deriving identity from oneself in relation to one’s community rather than ascription derived from systems of power, is a practice of survival for Black womxn (Giovanni, 1971). It subverts images, narratives, and other distorted conceptualizations of Black womxn and Black womxnhood by restoring the power of naming to the authority of those being named.…”

The purpose of this community-based participatory action research (Schensul et al., 2008) study led by a team of sexual and gender minority Black womxn researchers and community members formed the Collective Infiltrating Research to Center Community, Liberation, and Embodiment was to examine the gendered-racial existence of nonbinary Black womxn (NBBW) in connection to intersecting milieu (i.e., language, sexuality, spirituality and sacredness, ecology). Researchers utilized purposive sampling to recruit 11 participants whose responses to semistructured qualitative interviews addressed the following: How do NBBW perceive the importance of pronoun use and experiences of misgendering? Interpretive phenomenological analysis resulted in four principal themes: (a) inner work and outer worlds, (b) variability in usage, (c) internal and external affirmation, and (d) internal and external invalidation. Regarding experiences of misgendering, two principal themes were coconstructed: (a) manifestations of misgendering and (b) affective outcomes. Limitations and implications informing the future of research and gender-affirming clinical practice with gender-diverse Black womxn are discussed.
