This thesis focuses on the transnational education experiences of queer women who migrated to North America from mainland China, motivated by both individual and professional reasons. Influenced by the global queer movements and economic development in post-socialist China, young queer women are studying abroad in developed, anglophone countries. Drawing from the researcher’s private journey as a Chinese queer woman in the U.S. and the socio-political background of Chinese queer culture, this research delves into the intersections of national, social, gender, and sexual identities. Here this paper argues that Chinese queer women adopt a discursive practice of “disengagement from national identity” as a strategy for political activism, which allows them to negotiate an increasingly restrictive political environment in mainland China and to participate in various social justice and advocacy activities in a transnational context. The thesis also addresses the complexities and conflicts of gender and sexual dichotomies, emphasizing the political expressions and alliances behind these identities. In addition, the paper discusses the difficulties and injustices faced by Chinese diaspora women in the U.S. immigration justice system, as well as the struggles of Chinese queer activists in their migratory experiences.
