Theoretical Contributions to Transfeminist Network

Abstract

The history of feminism is a history of questioning privileges and the gradual inclusion of previously invisible or excluded groups of women. This has been the case with race or ethnicity, social class, sexual orientation, etc., and is currently happening with the trans collective. Is there a transfeminist network? Are feminist ideas and trans identities incompatible? This paper proposes a review of the academic literature that allows us to know what has been written about the relationship between the feminist movement and trans activism. We will focus, specifically, on the debates underlying the current argument in order to show the complexity of the debate, the richness of nonconformity and the danger of polarization.
