Laugier, M. Provost, and J. Trächtler).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 livesengAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/journal article2242-248Xhttps://doi.org/10.15845/nwr.v11.3624https://www.nordicwittgensteinreview.com/article/view/3624https://produccioncientifica.ucm.es/documentos/66e69b8e13bd982b7f8c2c30open access165141.72TransfeminismEssentialismPrivate language argumentBlurred-edge conceptEveryday languageNaturalistic fallacyTeoría del conocimiento7299 Otras Especialidades Filosóficas
