This historical vignette recounts the first trans protest in Italy, which occurred on July 4, 1980, and provides an impressionistic reflection on a trans experience from the location of Southern Europe. This location invites us to think of trans liberation according to an epistemology that dispels the dichotomy between a perverse sexual past and a civilizedmodern sexual citizenship, and between a liberated North and a backward South.

Abstract

This historical vignette recounts the first trans protest in Italy, which occurred on July 4, 1980, and provides an impressionistic reflection on a trans experience from the location of Southern Europe. This location invites us to think of trans liberation according to an epistemology that dispels the dichotomy between a perverse sexual past and a civilizedmodern sexual citizenship, and between a liberated North and a backward South.
