Is there a difference for you between identifying as trans feminist or as transfeminist ?<br />Trans feminist for me is a trans identifying person who identifies as a feminist.<br />Transfeminist is by contrast someone who's feminism is centred to a significant degree on the trans experience. <br />Personally I'll identify as primarily a transfeminist in that my conceptualisation of gender identity through my experience has led me to a position rather distinct from most feminisms vis-a-vis gender essentialism, the nature of gender identity, etc.<br />I think this does make a difference in how one approaches the broad church of feminism. As a trans feminist issues of trans inclusion are paramount. As a transfeminist I'm obviously still majorly concerned with these, but equally I'm concerned that mainstream feminist theory should relate to my transfeminism in a mutually respectful and productive way.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776623935042983118noreply@blogger.com
