Rogers Brubaker proposes in his book, Trans: Gender and Race in an Age of Unsettled Identities, three major ways of thinking with the concept of trans-ness.

• Trans of Migration: Unidirectional movement between one established sex/gender category to another.

• Trans of Betweenness: Positioning oneself in reference to two established categories without moving definitively between one or the other.

• Trans of Beyond: Positioning oneself in an undefined space, with reference to the previously defined categories.

Post-humans can occupy these spaces defined by Brubaker in interesting and compelling ways.
