The relationship between the trans community and the feminist one has been riddled with frustration, anger and accusations of exclusivity. Despite myriad challenges, however, there are those who feel that trans issues and feminist issues can co-exist and even that they naturally intersect. I recently conducted a roundtable with four trans feminist bloggers on this topic; here's the first part of that discussion.

Meet the bloggers:

Emily Manuel, 31, lives in U.S. and Australia

Monica Maldonado, mid-late 20s, lives in U.S.

Avory Faucette, 27, lives in Baltimore and works in Washington, D.C.

Stephen Ira, 20, lives in Yonkers, N.Y.
