WELCOME TO GXNECOLOGX
A BLACK QUEER FEMINIST REPRODUCTIVE DIGITAL PLATFORM FOR DESIGNING RESEARCH, VISUAL RESOURCES, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.
GXNECOLOGX JUSTICE LAB
GXNECOLOGX JUSTICE LAB is a Black queer feminist anthropological platform and collaboration with students, scholars, organizers, artists, and the Black queer community. We design visual and educational resources and materials, community projects, and experimental research methods to address the injustices in healthcare that impact Black queer folxs in the U.S. and across the African Diaspora. Our design projects are informed by research data, evidence-based information, and public information and concerns.
PUBLICATIONS
In Unseen Flesh Nessette Falu explores how Black lesbians in Brazil define and sustain their well-being and self-worth against persistent racial, sexual, class, and gender-based prejudice. Focusing on the trauma caused by interactions with gynecologists, Falu draws on in-depth ethnographic work among the Black lesbian community to reveal their profoundly negative affective experiences within Brazil’s deeply biased medical system.
WHY WE DO IT
"LGBTQIA+ individuals experience disproportionate levels of challenges, discrimination, and harm when they try to access reproductive and other health care, compared to their cisgender heterosexual counterparts."
- 2023 Black Reproductive Justice Policy Agenda
"Too many reproductive health and rights advocates see Reproductive Justice is a womb-centric world view that focuses only on a woman’s rights to have or to not have a child. That interpretation consistently places the lives of Black women and other women of color into silos that may fit well into the framework for policy wonks but has little to do with the everyday intersectionality of our lived experiences."
