- At a time when Black, explicitly queer artistic expression was virtually invisible in the mainstream, Arobateau's work was more than just homoerotic. It challenged the heterosexual, male-centric vision of Black sexual pleasure and desire at the core of street lit's popularity, expanding the genre into otherwise off-limits realms. (en)
- Rather than focus on Arobateau's fiction about transsubjects alone, it seems more useful to explicate how the author sustained and supported the fifty-year journey from woman to man through a writing life in which transworld identity was housed in a ghetto heaven important for black transfutures beyond necropolitics. (en)
- History books tell us a lot about the lives of upper-class women such as Gertie Stein and Alice B. but very little of the underprivileged lesbian factory workers, queer servants, and tranny seamstresses. There's a whole group of dikes to whom these characters, these books may appeal. (en)
