In this article we undertake a genealogical journey to understand the identity-building of the travesti/trans collective during the 1990’s in Argentina, a process that resulted from the mobilizations in opposition to the contraventional legislation and repressive practices against travestis and transsexuals. Unlike those who approach the emergence of local travestis/trans activism as a spontaneous reaction to the aberrant situation of vulnerability in which this community found itself, we propose analyzing the emergence of this collective as the result of a contingent process of identification and political articulation, for which the drawing of an antagonistic boundary with the repressive apparatus of the State was crucial. We argue that the emergence of this new identification found its path in the articulation of gay, lesbian, travesti, transsexual and bisexual activism that was formed in the 1990s in the heat of the organization of the “Pride Marches” and the “GLTTB National Meetings”. This was possible because of the increasing availability of the discourse of rights for this activism since the 1980s, with the new scenario of citizen struggles that was configured from the advent of democracy, led by the human rights movement.
