CASTANO-URDINOLA, Jessica Tatiana. The Power to Come Together: An Approach to the Process of Collectivization of Transgender Women on Calle de las Guapas. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.1, pp.209-224.  Epub 01-Nov-2021. ISSN 1657-8031.  https://doi.org/10.21500/16578031.4326.

This article seeks to reconstruct the process of collectivization of transgender women, who engage in sex work on Calle de las Guapas, in Manizales, Colombia. It is concluded that the Guapas are configured as a social collective because they share existentially and politically because of common meanings, which have to do with being transgender women, being sex workers, being poor, by naming themselves in the same way, by inhabiting the same space, by conceiving the body as a changing territory, by recognizing themselves as subjects of law, who can challenge the State, among others, and, who dispute each other, on a daily basis, and with other social and institutional actors.

Palavras-chave : Transgender Women; Social Collective; Resistance; and Political Identity.
