FAF are presenting a learning exchange on trans and intersex issues and
their relationships to feminism. The
relationship between feminism and transgender particularly has not been a
smooth one in the history of
feminist activism. This learning exchange is geared toward people who may
be unsure of the importance
or relevance of transgender to feminism, particularly from an
intergenerational perspective.
It will be a safe space for feminists from all different positions,
backgrounds and generations to meet and
discuss trans-issues and the interconnections/implications for feminism.
Not sure what trans-issues are?
Worried trans-issues are dominating contemporary feminism? Believe that an
understanding of gender and sex
multiplicity is key to undoing heterosexual patriarchy? Come along to this
session and discuss!
We want this to be a safe space for people to come together, ask
questions, exchange ideas, make
mistakes, learn, create solidarity and build alliances.
Workshops and Discussions include:
*Everything you ever wanted to know about transgender but were afraid to ask
*Beyond the binary: why feminism needs to move there
*Second Wave Feminists talk out loud about trans
*Variant Sex - biological evidence as to why there is more than just
'male' and 'female.'
*Intersex: Experience and Activism
More details and timing etc will be published on website. There will also
be resources, films & art.
Please get in touch if you want to be involved- as a speaker, facilitator,
film-maker, artist or if you
want to contribute resources or something for our new trans-zine!
This event is free. Lunch will be provided - donations welcome. Our venue
is accessible by wheelchair but
unfortunately the toilets are not adapted and are quite small. We are
endeavoring to find future free/very cheap
spaces in London that are fully accessible - please get in touch if you
have ideas!
