Travestis and trans people help organize with Argentina’s marea verde (green tide), the feminist movement in favor of expanding abortion rights. Travesti activists like Lohana Berkins are among the first public supporters of abortion, pointing out that bodily autonomy is a shared principle among both movements. Transmasculine people also highlight that abortion rights are needed by many people who aren’t women.
