What is Trans Feminism?

 
Naomi Brussel and Stahimili Mapp discuss transgender inclusion with transgender activist Pauline Park, who tries to answer the question, why are some of those who identify as progressive and/or feminist not yet on board with transgender inclusion? Is 'immutability' crucial for establishing legal rights? And how necessary are medical interventions such as puberty blockers, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and sex reassignment surgery (SRS) for actualizing transgender identity?
