Transfeminism as a political and visible current of trans women rights in Spain
Keywords:
Activism, socio-political rights, feminism, social justice, transfeminismAbstract
Feminism Movements dating back to antiquity, even before, because query the violence against women might refer back to the beginning of humanity. There are different times in the feminist movement around the world. In recent decades, this new movement has been gradually expanding. We are talking about transfeminism. In this paper, we analyze the fight of trans women that develop a vision of tansfeminism, from a social and political positioning, fighting against a political establishment which has tried to avoid their participation in social, economical, and political areas. Indeed from medical, psychological and psychiatric fields it has been developed a vision of trans people related to pathological aspects with a big effect on a binary and heteropatriarchal society.
However, these movements are still fighting, seeking recognition of trans women. Because trans rights movements are not going against feminism but against the hegemony of cisheteropatriarchy and gender binarism.
