Trans speculative fiction does not rocket us out of the gray sludge of our present: Instead, it raises the contrast and teases out hidden hues, so that we might see our surroundings anew. This issue, then, re/turns to the speculative so as to better understand the present temporalization of trans life, haunted by a trans future that can by definition never actually take place. We propose a reengagement with the speculative as a distinctly subjunctive mood: that is, as a commitment to staying with the perplexity of the WTF in order to discover what the here and now—an uncanny site where things are real and unreal at the same time—already makes possible.
