dc.description.abstractIn the face of consistent patterns of homophobic and transphobic violence across the globe, this chapter proposes a theoretical lens that combines postcolonial and decolonial theorisations with notions of situated intersectionality. It argues that further efforts are needed to defend a situated model suitable for examining localised regimes of sexual and gendered violence that impede citizenship. This work of critical deconstruction mobilises the concept of situated citizenship, which involves multiple forms of decolonisation. Two lines of argument are central. First, theorisations of sexual and gender citizenship need to move away from Western-centric definitions of gender identity and/or sexual orientation. Decolonising gender and sexual citizenship mean exploring local categorisations of gender identity and sexual orientation while tracing their historical specificities. Second, it is important to further decolonise intersectionality. Situated articulations and intersections need to be assessed and measured in situ. Rather than linearly pitting the West against the rest on issues of LGBTQIA+ rights and entitlements, decolonising situated citizenship means that we should prioritise how specific regimes of intersectional and gendered violence affect and harm specific SOGI populations in situated spaces. Not only are people situated, but so are the categories to which they belong. Identity categories are always situated endeavours.pt_PT
