Take a look at some examples

The body is not naked anatomy – the feminism of difference has already taught us this – but is symbolized and embedded in sediments of personal and collective history. And it is that nobody lives without an image of himself, and nobody has an image of himself that is a mirror reflection of his anatomy; our body has cartographies of desire, memory, prohibition and longing. And the bodies of others are presented to us in this way also strung together with flesh and desire, with history and matter. If a person loves another, it is not because a penis desires a vulva or another penis –or vice versa–, but because we live incarnated in a body that imagines itself and others in its difference, not in his genitalia, but in his complete corporeality.

Hence the surprises and phobias that desire in the presence of a trans C Level Contact List person can trigger, because that desire falsifies any narrative of genitality. I close by saying that we are not a danger. How could we be? We are 0.6% of the world population and of course we are not the 0.6% possessing the greatest privileges. And I'm not victimizing us by pointing this out, what I'm looking for is to point out the existence of a moral panic that has no foundation. We are not the drones of the patriarchy –we have agency and we exercise it–, nor are we patients in need of corrective therapies.



Our fight is for the vindication of our bodies, autonomies, stories and histories, of our rights! And we have a place in feminism because no one like us has shown the deep historicity, contextuality and materiality of historically positioned subjectivities. We are all, cis and trans, historical ontology and what we were one day will not be. So let's not forget the depth of time, the deep history of our species, which has 200,000 years of past behind it. Nothing of what we are today was then and nothing of what we are is naked biology. Each subjectivity and corporality was given birth by time and time saw it die.
