   Abstract = {<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>This article uses
             the life of Irina Layevska Echeverría Gaitán, a
             transgender and disability rights activist from Mexico, as a
             lens to examine the circulation and appropriation of the
             discursive New Man and the figure of Che Guevara by a broad
             set of actors from leftist revolutionaries to sexual rights
             activists in Mexico. Grappling with questions of temporality
             and intersectionality throughout, it follows her struggles
             to amend revolutionary discourses with her personal life
             despite her exclusion from normative models of the
             revolutionary figure. It argues that those excluded from the
             heteronormative able-bodied ideal of militancy—gay men,
             women, trans folk and those with disabilities—used the
             futurist, universal, and self-developmental aspects of the
             New Man to reject exclusionary leftist politics.
             Furthermore, the New Man as an aspirational yet abstract
             goal enabled the formulation of radically transgressive
             subject positions and provided a discourse with which to
             construct a militant identity that was inclusive and
             oppositional to the masculinist and ableist
             revolution.</jats:p>},
