On Sunday, March 23rd our co-op will be hosting author Sophie Lewis, whose razor sharp thinking—ever provocative and visionary—has made them one of our favorite feminist writers. Speaking on "enemy feminisms" (the topic of their most recent book), @reproutopia catalogs our movement's bad kin while making the case for the bold, liberatory politics we need to overcome fascism, nationalism, femmephobia, and cisness.

You can find more event information, and copies of "Enemy Feminisms: Terfs, Policewomen, and Girlbosses Against Liberation," at https://firestorm.coop/events/3310-feminists-against-liberation-a-conversation-with-sophie-lewis.html.

"This book is mandatory reading for anyone interested in a rough and compelling vision of the feminist past, present, and future. Honest, brutal, historically comprehensive, and brilliant."
—Judith Butler

Today is not a day just for feminism.

Today is yet another day to remind ourselves about the intertwinkng of all the issues we face, hence the value of the intersectionality of our fights.

Firstly, and most importantly, we should get used not to call ourselves feminist, but transfeminist. Trans rights are human rights!

Let us always recognise how gender violence cannot be decoupled from political, economical, and climatic violence.

Let us see the people around us, by our side, not just those who do not want to accept our freedom. We stand together, or we don’t.

Tons of love for you all, tons of fuckyous to all self-centered white males who think they have it all figured out.

A historic lesson that may not exactly be repeating, but certainly has loudly begun resonantly rhyming throughout the Trans Female and Femme community.

Following a request by @chrislawaai, I want to share my list of trans feminists. It's of course very incomplete and work-in-progress. I don't draw a strict line between trans rights activists and trans feminists.

First some "proto-trans feminists":

- Chevalière d'Éon / Charlotte d'Éon de Beaumont (1728-1810)
- Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875)

I've been told to do an #introduction post so here we go!

I was born and live on stolen land in the country known as Australia. My heritage on one side is English (2nd gen), and the other is unknown (earliest record is them migrating from America in the 1920s).

I'm #trans and proud of it, and separately to that, I am a #lesbian. As I get further into transition, the lesbian label feels more relevant than the trans, even though both will always be important parts of my life. #Transfeminism and intersectional feminist theory will always be part of how my world view is informed.

I'm a #leftist but I have so far avoided getting any more specific than that in labeling my ideology because I usually try to hear people out.

I'm also vegetarian but I'm transitioning towards a more #vegan diet.

Things I'm passionate about include #music, #art, #languages, #culture, #science and #books. But I'm generally interested in any topic.

I also nearly have an Engineering degree and I wish with every fiber of my being that I'd chosen to complete anything else.

Not sure what else to say - I also currently have 3 ongoing #ttrpg campaigns - one as a DM, one as a #goblin #witch (which I identify strongly with), and one as a changeling paladin.

Trying to get to a place where I can look at the world and say 'nice to be here' - bonus points if I can help out with that for others too.

Reprocessing life. Thinking about how I was always uncomfortable around women.

Specifically because I didn't want them to be uncomfortable around me. I would worry about what they thought of me and if they perceived me as a threat. I wanted sooo badly for them to think of me more than as "someone with a penis who wants to bone them" (I went the sex with men route sooooo... boning them wasn't on my mind. lol. Demi remember?)

I'm afraid I was in that "not all guys" camp before it was a meme and before I hatched.

So my question is:
Is this eggy? Or are there guys out there who feel this way too? (ie: actual "not all guys" guys). I have a feeling this is eggy AF.

the light of their eyes, maybe it was too much, right ?
their ideals, their flags,
their cries of joy, their language,
their youth, their life,
their respect, their dignity,
their closed fist, their songs,
their poems, their desires,
their stars,
maybe it was too much for you all,

#TranspiringConsiderations

"Transpiring Considerations" is a series of short-form writing that I'm aiming to publish here each Saturday. This post will anchor a thread of links for each of these.

Part of the idea is, as Abigail Thorn describes her own work, giving away my education for free. I also want to give myself more space to have more casual writing on trans-centered perspectives. Hope these thoughts are worthwhile to share

Who would be interested in a course of Brazilian trans studies?
We usually have courses of introduction to trans studies with mostly US American trans people, but I'm currently teaching trans studies 101 in Brazil with Brazilian trans authors. This is particularly different as we discuss the category of travesti, which is a specific Latina trans expression. The course is in PT, but I wanted to make a version of the course in English too.
