Summary/Abstract: The article examines transfeminist experiments directly or indirectly inspired by Paul B. Preciado’s Testo Junkie: Mary Maggic’s exploration of molecular forms of colonization, Gynepunk’s attempts to decolonize gynecology, and the project of becoming a plant with the help of chlorophyll carried out by the Quimera Rosa collective. In these projects, industrially produced molecules become the material for dissident and anti-identitarian forms of embodiment. On this basis, a model of transfeminist experimentation is proposed as a practice that relies not on reproduction, but on mutation.
