Birth of Transfeminism in Brazil: Between Alliances and Backlashes

This text aims to briefly summarize the initial steps of transfeminism in Brazil, its difficulties and issues within the mainstream feminist movement, which in some ways molded the transfeminist movement, and also its support, not always free from cissexist practices. It also emphasizes intersectionality as a way out of the problem of identity politics and as a praxis to fight for human rights in general.
