On November 27, 2023, the Queer Caucus at the American Association for Italian Studies (AAIS) organized and facilitated a roundtable discussion focusing on trans identity and trans activism in Italy, featuring Egon Botteghi, Cristina Leo, Leila Pereira, and Marte Pezzatini. The event served as a follow-up to the caucus’s earlier giornata di studio on Trans Studies held on November 17th. During the conversation, the speakers shared firsthand perspectives from their respective territories and communities, shedding light on the intricate social and political challenges and joys faced by the trans community in contemporary Italy.
