T1 Acknowledging women: some Wittgensteinian ideas to clarify the cis/trans debate
A1 Gamero Cabrera, Isabel Gloria
AB My aim in this paper is to use some contents of the later Wittgenstein’s work, and some of its interpreters, to shed some light on the cis/trans debate, in which it is disputed what a woman is and who the subject of feminisms is. There is a stance, called cisfeminism,  which  do  not  acknowledge  transgender  women  neither  as women  nor  as  subjects  of  feminisms.  I  analyse  and  criticise  the main  cisfeminist arguments from a Wittgensteinian perspective, taking into account (1) the plausible essentialism  of  these  arguments  and  (2)  the  everyday  uses  of  language  and  its changes. Finally (3), I make some considerations about the effect that theories have in human lives
