VENDRELL FERRE, Joan. Sobre lo trans: aportaciones desde la antropología. Cuicuilco [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.54, pp.117-138. ISSN 0185-1659.

This paper addresses trans from an athropological persepective. It focusses particularly on transsexuality as a specific variant, or gender mainstreaming, aiming to contribute elements for understanding in relation to the order of gender in line with the contemporary medico-legal system. It analyzes the difficult relationships of transsexualism with certain sectors of the feminist movement, along with the inherent paradoxes when aiming to construct a specific transsexual identity. Finally, we dedicate some space to anthropolgical trans research, as well as its limits.

Palabras llave : transsexuality; gender; feminism; identitity; anthropology.
