Abstract
Mariela Muñoz became the first transsexual widely socially recognized as a mother in Argentina. She emerged as a leading figure during her struggle to recover legal custody of three of her children, which had been previously annulled by a judge. Moreover, in 1997 she became the first transsexual recognized as a woman by the state. This text analyzes the making of Mariela Muñoz's motherhood repertoires to redefine political, social, and intimate citizenship. It argues that her politics were paradoxical, in that she appealed to traditional meanings of womanhood such as fulfilment through motherhood and the duty of care for others. On the other hand, these uses of key cultural symbols displaced the imagined margins for travestis and transexuales and helped her enjoy popular support.

Abstract
This article offers an analysis, though necessarily fragmented and incomplete, of travesti cabaret during the 1960s and 1970s in fascist Spain. It explores in particular the cabaret shows of travestis in Barcelona, as well as the admiration and recognition that they produced. The study focuses on the political capacities that privacy and closed spaces generated in an environment of dictatorship, albeit through a certain presence of the public as audience. From this analysis follows a problematization of the conception of the public as the ideal location for politics, particularly the street, as well as their possibilities for resistance. This essay seeks a reassessment of intimate spaces for sharing experiences that ultimately affect and condition the necessity of public representation.

Abstract
In this article the author considers the vexed relationship that Star Distributors' trans sleaze had with taxonomy. The author argues that linguistic slippage and the inability to define a precise trans identity as object speaks not only, or exclusively, to a sloppiness on the part of sleaze writers but is also a deliberate illumination of the degree to which white trans is not reducible to something known or necessarily stable. Because it is irreducible to knowledge and finality, these texts delight in the possibilities of plurality, in teaching, and in learning to work one's gender in excess of cis practice. Finally, this article explores the bifurcated way these novels depict pedagogy for white and Black trans characters.
