Activist and author Emi Koyama wrote the text The Transfeminist Manifesto in 2000 and is considered one of the main early voices for the development of transfeminism in the world. In the lecture-performance, Emi Koyama Passou Aqui, this great elaboration by Koyama is revisited, undoing some misconceptions and clichés that still persist about transfeminism. —Hilda de Paulo
