About

This session is part of activities around two important dates for LGBTI and sex and gender dissident activisms, the day of the fight against LGBTIphobia (17 May) and the LGBTI+ Pride month, because of the Stonewall riots that began on 28 June 1969.

The session intends to focus on trans activisms and from them we can debate politics more broadly, in order to think about absences in institutional politics, learnings for the c-system (the system as constituted by cisgender power), autonomous, dissident politics, and how issues of health and childhood are also affected by and constitutive of politics. The speakers bring in this session interdisciplinary perspectives from Brazil and Portugal to dialogue and strengthen trans knowledge often denied and actively forgotten in academia and politics.
