Résumé
Resumen En Manizales las Guapas se configuran como un colectivo social porque comparten existencial y políticamente en razón de unos significados comunes que tienen que ver con el ser mujeres trans, ser trabajadoras sexuales, ser pobres, nombrarse de una misma manera, habitar un mismo espacio, concebir el cuerpo como un territorio en transformación, reconocerse como sujetas de derecho que pueden interpelar al Estado, entre otros que se disputan cotidianamente entre ellas mismas y con otros actores sociales e institucionales.
Abstract This article seeks to reconstruct the process of collectivization of transgender women, who engage in sex work on Calle de las Guapas, in Manizales, Colombia. It is concluded that the Guapas are configured as a social collective because they share existentially and politically because of common meanings, which have to do with being transgender women, being sex workers, being poor, by naming themselves in the same way, by inhabiting the same space, by conceiving the body as a changing territory, by recognizing themselves as subjects of law, who can challenge the State, among others, and, who dispute each other, on a daily basis, and with other social and institutional actors.
