”Atoms Never Touch“ offers a revolutionary premise: The love between trans women is the key to the new world we imagine. Abolition demands an end to colonialism, so abolitionists must be part of the movement for a free Palestine. In the book, many of these acts are represented by the fascist president who wins the election in Cora’s world. Cora is frustrated and furious about the president in her world being elected despite his record of sexual assault.
