| Abstract: | This article discusses the limitations of trans language activism (TLA) from a US-centric perspective and the replication of a colonial hierarchy that privileges the Global North. The authors argue for a more inclusive and nuanced approach to TLA by engaging with scholarship from the Global South, particularly Latin America. They propose three challenges for TLA: moving southward to incorporate knowledge from the Global South, tracking TLA's genealogies and attending to context, and shifting focus from ideologies to practices. The authors emphasize the need for intersectional coalitions and accountability in TLA to address power dynamics and cater to the diverse needs of trans communities. [Extracted from the article] |
