'''Feminism''', | '''Feminism''' is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a common goal: political, economic, personal, and social equality for people of all [[sexes]] and [[gender]]s. Feminist movements mainly campaign for women's rights, including the right to vote, to hold public office, to work, to earn fair wages or equal pay, to own property, to receive education, to enter contracts, to have equal rights within marriage, and to have maternity leave. Feminists have also worked to ensure access to legal abortions and social integration, and to protect everyone from rape, sexual harassment, and domestic violence. Changes in [[clothing|dress]] and acceptable physical activity have often been part of feminist movements. | ||
Some scholars consider feminist campaigns to be a main force behind major historical societal changes for women's rights, particularly in the West, where they are near-universally credited with achieving women's suffrage, [[gender neutral language in English|gender neutrality in English]], reproductive rights for women (including access to contraceptives and abortion), and the right to enter into contracts and own property. Feminism also works for men's liberation, because men are also harmed by traditional [[gender roles]]. | |||
Because this isn't Wikipedia, this article should focus on feminism in relation to [[nonbinary]] people. | |||
==Trans-feminism== | |||
'''Trans-feminism''' is a form of intersectional feminism that seeks to understand how transgender people, especially trans women, are affected by sexism, and to fight for their legal and social rights. | |||
==Transgender-exclusionary feminists== | |||
''See main section about transgender-exclusionary feminists in [[cissexism#Transgender-exlusionary feminism|cissexism]].'' | |||
'''Transgender-exlusionary radical feminists (TERFS)''' are better understood as perpetuating a form of sexism, rather than a form of feminism. | |||
