Abstract

Historically marginalized people must find alternative forms of remonstration to liberate themselves within repressive societies. In using an agonistic analysis of transliterature and following examples of social protest by an earlier generation of feminists, Black Power activists, Native American demonstrators, and participants in the Stonewall Rebellion, this study argues that contemporary transgender liberation movement activists incorporate a postmodern approach accommodating their specific needs within the larger culture. Specifically, transactivists incorporate polysemy, polyvocality, and community building through individual identity construction not witnessed in previous social movement rhetoric research.
