Halberstein argues at the end of Chapter 6, TransFeminisms, that “the true enemy [of trans folks] has
nothing to do with feminism,” yet spends the chapter detailing the rift between “traditional” feminists and
transfeminists. In your thesis statement, answer the question, “What place should trans* people occupy in
the feminist movement?” In your supporting argument, be sure to define feminism, as you see it, and
provide (and refute) alternate perspectives, before stating your case for your own argument. Include a
thesis statement that clearly and forcefully states what you will argue, and be sure to restate your
argument in your conclusion.
