This introduction to the special issue on "The Intersections of Trans Women and Lesbian Identities, Communities, and Movements" considers the interconnectedness of "trans" and "lesbian" as identities and as concepts. Our approach challenges a reading of the two communities as largely separate and adversarial. In reviewing the articles included in this issue, we highlight places of intersection between the two identities, including the experiences of the individuals who live at the intersectional point: trans lesbians.
本期关于“跨性别女性与女同性恋身份、社群及运动的交集”的特刊引言，探讨了“跨性别”与“女同性恋”作为身份和概念的相互关联性。我们的方法对那种将这两个社群视为大体上相互分离且对立的解读提出了挑战。在审视本期所收录的文章时，我们着重强调了这两种身份之间的交集之处，包括处于交集点上的个体的经历：跨性别女同性恋者。
