Sumario:This article aims to recognize lesbian feminism as a discursive production that is immersed in power relationships and empowerments that are mostly visible in its “official” discourses and through entitled voices. It critically analyzes a selection of diverse discourses, which were produced by entitled lesbian feminist voices in Latin America and the Caribbean, in order to reveal the way in which trans bodies and experiences have been constructed “outside” of lesbian feminist discourses. This study is based on all that which is possible, imaginable and desirable from within the annual Lesbian Encounter of Latin America and the Caribbean (ELFLAC). Finally, this article focuses on the proposals made at the LesBiTransInter Feminist Encounter Venir al Sur regarding current subjects and bodies within feminism.
