Agenciamiento político y subjetividad política de la “Red Comunitaria Trans” en Bogotá, Colombia

Abstract

This article aims to document the processes of political agency and political subjectivity of a transgender group called Transgender Community Network (Red Comunitaria Trans), in Bogotá. Using secondary sources and a micro-historical and hermeneutical approach, political subjectivity, main organizational milestones and political agency are reviewed. It is concluded that the female network has become a reference group thanks to their work on social memory and identity, their projects aiming at political formation and at fighting for their rights, as well as to their positioning at local levels as a group promoting legal actions including the Gender Identity Act.
