• Resumen

  • [...]the mere existence of a group of authors of this type implies, in theory, the existence of a literature associated with them.

    [...]the aforementioned authors will be analyzed in order to establish what separates transgender literature ontologically from cisgender by establishing what is intrinsic in the former. In the latter case, this lack of self-identification could be interpreted as an intention to assume a cisgender identity. [...]the identity complexity of a transgender author must be considered when approaching the study of the textual corpus of these authors. [...]in Menstrual there is an intention to avoid definitions and live the body in which the subject feels comfortable.
