Based on an auto-ethnographic engagement with the feminist and transgender communities in Turkey, this presentation explores a historical examination of trans exclusionary radical feminist discourse emanated in the Anglo-American context, with a particular focus on its implications for the local and political specificities of feminism and transgender politics in contemporary Turkey.
