Latin America’s trans masculine activism boasts a rich, feminist past, often overshadowed by its “new” image. “Archivos de la Memoria Trans Masculina en Latinoamérica” proves this with its oral histories, featuring seasoned activists over 40. “Familias Transformadoras,” a film following a Guatemalan mother’s love for her trans son, shatters myths of family rejection. These projects document a legacy of resistance, emphasizing bodily autonomy and self-determination within a feminist framework. They dismantle the misconception that feminism and trans rights clash, revealing their fight against a common foe: rigid gender roles. This session will showcase the historical roots and feminist ties of this activism, highlighting the power of narrative change despite limited funding and urging donors for increased support for this movement’s continued impact.
