Transfeminism
Transfeminism, also written trans feminism, has been defined by scholar and activist Emi Koyama as ""a movement by and for trans women who view their liberation to be intrinsically linked to the liberation of all women and beyond."" Koyama notes that it ""is also open to other queers, intersex people, trans men, non-trans women, non-trans men and others who are sympathetic toward needs of trans women and consider their alliance with trans women to be essential for their own liberation."" Transfeminism has also been defined more generally as ""an approach to feminism that is informed by trans politics.""Despite its relatively late introduction as a term, transfeminism has been around since the early second wave in various forms, most prominently embodied by thinkers such as Sandy Stone, considered the founder of academic transgender studies, and Sylvia Rivera, a Stonewall rioter and founder of Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries. In 2006, the first book on transfeminism, Trans/Forming Feminisms: Transfeminist Voices Speak Out edited by Krista Scott-Dixon, was published by Sumach Press.
