En este artículo partimos de la noción de frontera para ir más allá de sus acepciones más corrientes y analizar los modos en que la acción política de una organización de travestis, en este caso ALITT, está llevando adelante un proyecto cooperativo de trabajo y capacitación, extiende los límites impuestos y las fronteras de lo pensable. Desde esta perspectiva, se busca desafiar las concepciones heteronormativas, racistas y sexistas de ciudadanía como formas de disciplinamiento individual y colectivo, y producir saberes mestizos y posibilidades de vida que lleven la marca de lo emancipatorio. ; In this article we intend to call into question the notion of frontier by going beyond its usual meanings, and analyze the ways in which political actions performed by a transvestite organization (ALITT) that is carrying out a project for cooperative work and training, challenge imposed limits and expands the boundaries of what is thinkable. Furthermore, from this perspective we seek to challenge the production of knowledge based on hetero-normative, racist and sexist conceptions of citizenship as forms of disciplining the individual and the collective, as well as to produce mestizo knowledge and possibilities of life that are marked by emancipatory struggles.

INTRODUCTION: Little is known about how people who have abortions describe high-quality interpersonal care in Argentina. This qualitative study aimed to understand preferences and priorities in their interactions with providers. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted 24 in-depth interviews with people who obtained abortions at a comprehensive reproductive health clinic or with support from a feminist accompaniment group in Buenos Aires and Neuquén, Argentina. We iteratively coded transcripts using a thematic analysis approach based on interpersonal domains present in current quality of care frameworks. RESULTS: Participants described high-quality abortion care as feeling acompañamiento and contención from their providers – terms that imply receiving kind, caring, compassionate and emotionally supportive care throughout their abortion. They described four key elements of interpersonal interactions: attentive communication from providers and accompaniers, clear and understandable information provision, non-judgmental support, and individualized options for pain management. CONCLUSIONS: People obtaining abortions in Argentina consistently identified receiving compassionate and supportive care throughout an abortion as a key aspect of care. The findings have implications for incorporating people's perspectives in the development of care guidelines, training of providers, and monitoring and improving of services. This is particularly important as the government of Argentina prepares to expand legal access to abortion.
