Abstract

In this article, we will critically reflect on the 2018 feminist student mobilizations in Chile through an analysis of interviews and discussion groups with LGBTQ+ students that participated in the feminist student protests and occupations. We will argue that even though these feminist student mobilizations can be considered an example of trans-feminist coalitions, some relevant conflicts and tensions remain, such as discourses and practices that still use an either/or, binary, cishet framework, maintaining a problematic separation between feminist and LGBTQ+ agendas, undermining the intersectional feminist understandings necessary for a more complex idea of social justice.
