ABSTRACT

This chapter reflects on the genealogy and scope of the concept of feminicide and transfeminicide, as well as the prevalence of violence against the community of trans women in Mexico, the social death to which they are condemned, and the urgency of recognising this violence in relation to unequal gender systems anchored in necropatriarchal structures. Likewise, together with the term “post-mortem politics,” this work analyses the trans resistances that suppose a form of interruption of the social anaesthesia before the massacre and produce affective responses that modify the structures of social perception about the trans body as worthy. ¡Vivas nos queremos!
