"The Butterfly Revolution. Ten years after The Deed of the Proper Name. An investigation into the situation of the trans population in the City of Buenos Aires. It was developed jointly by the Gender and Sexual Diversity Program, the Divino Tesoro Foundation and the Mocha Celis Trans Popular High School. It seeks to warn about the need to continue with the design and implementation of policies that effectively contribute to the recognition of the trans community as subjects of rights."
Marlene Wayar (born on October 14, 1968) is an Argentine social psychologist, travesti-transgender activist, and the author of the book “Travesti: una teoría lo suficientemente buena” (which translates to “Cross-dressing [Travesti]: A Good Enough Theory”). She has made significant contributions to the understanding of gender identity and rights.
She studied Social Psychology at the Instituto Universitario de Madres de Plaza de Mayo.
Additionally, she played a key role in establishing the Nadia Echazú Textile Cooperative, named in honor of a trans rights activist.
Wayar hosted the series “Género identidad. La diversidad en el cine” (Gender Identity: Diversity in Cinema), which aired on Encuentro in 2011.
The Trans Literacy Center in Argentina decided to add “Marlene Wayar” to its name based on a poll conducted among alumni and participants.
In September 2011, Wayar received the Lola Mora Award from the Buenos Aires City Legislature for her work on the publication “El Teje”.
Marlene Wayar’s advocacy and scholarship have significantly contributed to advancing understanding, visibility, and rights for the trans community in Argentina and beyond.
