[edit]Wiki article to choose:Black Feminism
The "Issues with Transfeminism" section needs to be updated. I found an article from a feminist's perspective that might be useful: [1]
Points to include:
- Problems relating to cis-gendered feminists
- Problems relating to transgender females who oppose feminist culture
- Feeling torn/pulled in two different directions with their identity
- Receiving backlash from people with opposing viewpoints
Adding in the "Compared to other feminisms'" Common foundations section:
The author Kimberle Crenshaw who coined the term intersectionality is relative to trans feminism in the ways in which trans-females see themselves as holding more than one identity regarding race, sexuality, or socio-economic status (SES). [2] Intersectionality as an identity was something Crenshaw wanted to examine and define regarding violence against women and other marginalized groups of society. The notion that all trans-women do not have the same experiences as their white cis gendered counterparts is a key theme that Crenshaw expresses.[3] The idea that holding more than one identity and being able to label multiple identities that a trans woman of color identifies with can potentially be a liberating experience during the transition. Relatively, the transfeminist manifesto lists primary principles that supports the claims of Crenshaw's intersectional identity theory. The main primary principle that Koyama claims is that each individual has the the right to define his or own identity with the expectation that society respects them. [4] This includes the right to express one's gender without discrimination of fear or violence. [4]
Trans bodies have been highly scrutinized against historically through public policy denying the trans community access to certain public spaces. In an article by Nemoto & colleagues, research has suggested that community based intervention for proactive policy for trans-women can help reduce trans-women's risk for further stigma within the community. [5] Within the city of San Francisco, a group based project called TRANS has brought together researchers, and local community organizations promoting health programs for at-risk male to female transitions, as the authors noted that male to female transitions show the highest rates of combination health risks.

Emily's Peer Review
[edit]The work you have written so far regarding intersectionality of Transfeminism seems very promising, offering neutral content with a reliable source. The topic, itself, is an important concept of Transfeminism and why I believe it is a good idea to further explore. The direction, I would suggest, may be to explain the ways in which this is similar to feminism and ways it is not. This can be similar to being seen as the "other" but maybe even more extreme.
