Throughout history, traditional knowledge organization systems have often inadvertently reinforced oppressive structures, particularly in matters pertaining to race, gender, sexuality, and feminist studies.

The primary objective of COEXISTENCE is to systematically categorize, structure, and disseminate terms, concepts, and theories that empower us as scholars, information professionals, activists, educators, and opinion leaders. By doing so, we aim to contribute to the collective effort towards a fairer and more egalitarian world. This undertaking is essential in fostering a comprehensive understanding and progressive discourse in the academic and societal domains. ]]></dc:description>  <dc:publisher>Maria Aparecida Moura</dc:publisher>  <dc:date>2017-02-01</dc:date>  <dc:language>en-US</dc:language><ThesaurusConcept dc:identifier="http://mamoura.eci.ufmg.br/tematres/vocab/xml.php?skosTema=167">	<dcterms:created>2017-06-20 04:54:37</dcterms:created><PreferredTerm dc:identifier="http://mamoura.eci.ufmg.br/tematres/vocab/xml.php?skosTema=167" xml:lang="en-US">	<LexicalValue>Transfeminism</LexicalValue>	<dcterms:created>2017-06-20 04:54:37</dcterms:created></PreferredTerm><ScopeNote xml:lang="en-US">  <LexicalValue><![CDATA[ <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Transfeminism is primarily a movement by and for trans women who view their liberation to be intrinsically linked to the liberation of all women and beyond. It is also open to other queers, intersex people, trans men, non-trans women, non-trans men, and others who are sympathetic to the needs of trans women and consider their alliance with trans women to be essential for their own liberation. Transfeminism … stands for trans and non-trans women alike and asks non-trans women to stand up for trans women in return. Transfeminism embodies feminist coalition politics in which women from different backgrounds stand up for each other, because if we do not stand for each other, nobody will” – Emi Koyama, “The Transfeminist Manifesto,” 2000. (2) “Trans feminism is a commitment to social justice, rooted in that understanding of power relations and experiences of oppression based on gender identity and expression.” – Pauline Park, “Transfeminism: Speaking My Truth to Power,” 2012</span></p> ]]> </LexicalValue></ScopeNote></ThesaurusConcept></Thesaurus>
