About
Welcome to the TransFeminist community on Livejournal.com. This community is a trans-positive space for the discussion of the intersections of trans and feminist identities/communities. All gender identities are welcome here.

[info]transfeminism exists to discuss the personal, social, political and academic intersections of gender variant identities with that of the feminist(s) movements.

That includes, but is by no means limited to:
- How to maintain a feminist identity and community ties while transitioning from one gender to another
- How to deal with transphobic remarks in feminist circles, and how to deal with anti-feminist remarks in trans circles
- Gender inclusion and exclusion, how to negotiate space in a respectful manner
- Possible political collaborations between feminist and trans-activist movements
- Personal experiences of the intersections between the two (venting and advice seeking)
- Intersections with other communities, such as various cultural, racial, or ethnic activist groups, differently-abled activist groups, etc.


This community wishes to offer a safe space for all for respectful, calm discussion of these controversial topics, (with the hope of establishing some common ground). In order to achieve this end, those who are not willing or are not capable of respectful dialogue with different minded (or differently gendered) people are discouraged from joining this community.
