Abstract
ABSTRACT: This article examines Camila Sosa Villada's book Las malas (2019), a tale of trans or travesti sex workers in Córdoba, Argentina. Sosa is perhaps the most recognized trans writer in Argentina, and a notable feature of her writing is its portrayal of trans maternity. This essay addresses the depiction of tenderness in Sosa's work in the context of questions about motherhood and trans rights in contemporary Argentina. The formal and technical choices made in her work offer insights into the political potential of creative writing to destabilize literary genres while engaging in pressing debates about gender and human rights.
