  8. «Transactional Intercourse»

    > Transactional Intercourse is an anthology of trans and intersex sex workers' writing, serving as a snapshot of our experiences in our own words. It includes essays and personal narratives from 30 sex workers who either sell sex directly to clients or make porn, across the sex and gender spectrum.

    > I'm tired of looking for stories from trans and intersex sex workers and finding far more instances of people speaking over us than instances where we get to speak for ourselves. I'm angry that when I do find documentaries or writing where we are featured and get the chance to express our thoughts, those involved have frequently gone unpaid and been treated poorly in the process of sharing. I'm devastated that we're so often gawked at or framed as dangerous deviants by people who gain money and notoriety from broadcasting the details of our trauma and ridiculing our joy. We deserve better, and I hope the anthology Transactional Intercourse can be a part of that!

    Well, it's been for four days, but today is the book recommendation one. 😅
    Nevermind tho, let's get to the point: this absolute jewel of a book. 💎

    The work is about as self-describing as it can get: a compilation of life stories and reflections of trans and intersex people in the sex trade. ❣️

    All three represent collectives that tend to remain on the sidelines and even actively silenced — never mind their intersection…

    This book puts the focus right where it belongs: on the people living at these intersections, on their own voices.

    It includes both the good, the bad and the ugly — because even among a relatively limited population, sex work experiences are all over the place, and none actually deserves being left out.

    Of course, due to practical limitations, there are certainly going to be some that couldn't make it in —no matter how comprehensive it were, there'd always be— but nevertheless, one thing is certain:
    You'll hardly find a comparable collection anywhere. 💞

  14. #Trans & #Intersex #History #Africa — Digital Archive

    "It is important that we as #African trans, #gender diverse and intersex people speak for ourselves" — #VictorMukasa

    "This statement by one of Trans & Intersex History Africa’s (TIHA) founders, Victor Mukasa, speaks to the rationale behind the TIHA digital archive, the history of trans, gender diverse and intersex movements in Africa, and the importance of archiving our histories/herstories/theirstories.

    Supporting advocacy and movement building through archiving

    We document events and important moments in a digital archive in the form of a visual timeline, as well as audio and video interviews as experienced and remembered by activists on the African Continent and within the #AfricanDiaspora.

    As is the case worldwide, the anti-gender, conservative, #TERF (trans exclusionary radical feminist) rhetoric continues to gain strength and influences government policies, law and public sentiment, which impacts trans, gender diverse and intersex people’s lived realities and their fundamental human rights. We believe that the Trans & Intersex History in Africa (#TIHA) digital archive can contribute to the efforts of organisations, specifically those who cannot publicise their work due to threat of financial and legal consequences (which includes one of our founding partners), to ensure that trans, gender diverse and intersex existence and lived experience is recorded. This record will play a part in ensuring the collaborative strength of the African movements in combating the anti-trans, anti-gender-diverse and anti-intersex sentiment on the continent and in the African diaspora.

    The TIHA digital archive acknowledges the existence of multiple movements, networks, groups and individuals and that the stories to be told are intersectional and carry various voices to form histories/herstories/theirstories. We are making a start with the information currently available but invite stories in whatever media to be submitted from across the continent and from the many places and voices not yet represented.

    While we are in a continuous process of rethinking this important work, we invite you to engage with the information that the TIHA digital archive and Trans & Intersex Archival Conversations present. Get involved! Reach out! You can list your organisation/group, share your stories through the Timeline or through the Talk Show by getting in touch with us. We particularly invite first person stories and can facilitate the sharing of these in various languages."

  19. #African #Queer Youth Initiative

    "Our History

    A group of young #LGBTQI+ activists founded the African Queer Youth Initiative during the 5th Changing Faces and Changing Spaces Conference in Nairobi, #Kenya, in June 2015.

    Our founding members recognised the need to elevate the needs and aspirations of young people within the larger LGBTQI+ movement and to create a space where they could be seen as equal partners in the struggle for equality. Since then, #AQYI has become a vibrant network of African youth activists united by our shared commitment to building a more #inclusive and #equitable society.

    Since our inception, we have grown exponentially; our members come from southern, northern, eastern, and western Africa, as well as the African Islands, representing a diverse and vibrant community of young queer people. We continue to work with African LGBTQI+ youths to develop innovative and youth-led strategies for empowering LGBTQI+ youths across Africa, as well as platforms that allow them to engage actively and have an authentic voice in the fight for their freedom."

  24. ‘Girl, You Just Gay’ – Daily #Microaggressions Faced By #Trans and #NonBinary #Africans

    May 1, 2024

    "The #LGBTQI+ community in #Africa has made significant strides in the face of prejudice, homophobia, and discrimination. Despite the challenges posed by punitive laws and conservative cultures, there are efforts to support and mobilise LGBTQI+ youth activists on the continent. However, the community continues to face setbacks, with instances of violence and marginalisation being reported in various African countries. For instance, in South Africa, a country with strong legal protections, violence against LGBT people remains a pressing issue, with at least 24 reported murders in bias-motivated attacks in 2021.

    Despite these challenges, there are efforts to advance LGBTQI+ equality globally, including engaging the private sector to help advance LGBTQI+ livelihoods. The private sector's role in respecting the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons is being recognized, with initiatives such as robust business due diligence and human rights-based data collection being promoted to track progress toward LGBTQI+ economic empowerment.

    In the midst of these efforts, it is important to acknowledge the specific challenges faced by Trans people and non-binary individuals within the LGBTQI+ community in Africa. While some have found supportive communities, they often experience Micro-aggressions and discrimination within these spaces. It is crucial to address these issues and work towards creating a more inclusive and respectful environment for all members of the LGBTQI+ community in Africa.

    Misgendering, Deadnaming, Marginalising

    Trans people and non-binary identifying individuals in the LGBTQI+ community face Micro-aggressions from both within and outside the community. Micro-aggressions against Trans people and non-binary individuals can take various forms, including #misgendering, #deadnaming, and invalidating their gender identity. These Microaggressions can be particularly harmful and contribute to feelings of marginalization, distress, and invalidation. Research has shown that gender minority youth experience more familial #Microaggressions, invalidation of #LGBTQ identity, and threatening behaviours (Arijis Q. et. Al. 2023).

    "For instance, assuming that all individuals present as either male or female and failing to recognize non-binary or genderqueer identities can be a form of Micro-aggression. Additionally, making comments that link an Individual's LGBTQI+ identity with illness or pathology, or expressing surprise when someone's sexual orientation or gender identity is revealed, can also be harmful Micro-aggressions."

  27. ‘Girl, You Just Gay’ – Daily #Microaggressions Faced By #Trans and #NonBinary #Africans

    May 1, 2024

    "The #LGBTQI+ community in #Africa has made significant strides in the face of prejudice, homophobia, and discrimination. Despite the challenges posed by punitive laws and conservative cultures, there are efforts to support and mobilise LGBTQI+ youth activists on the continent. However, the community continues to face setbacks, with instances of violence and marginalisation being reported in various African countries. For instance, in South Africa, a country with strong legal protections, violence against LGBT people remains a pressing issue, with at least 24 reported murders in bias-motivated attacks in 2021.

    Despite these challenges, there are efforts to advance LGBTQI+ equality globally, including engaging the private sector to help advance LGBTQI+ livelihoods. The private sector's role in respecting the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons is being recognized, with initiatives such as robust business due diligence and human rights-based data collection being promoted to track progress toward LGBTQI+ economic empowerment.

    In the midst of these efforts, it is important to acknowledge the specific challenges faced by Trans people and non-binary individuals within the LGBTQI+ community in Africa. While some have found supportive communities, they often experience Micro-aggressions and discrimination within these spaces. It is crucial to address these issues and work towards creating a more inclusive and respectful environment for all members of the LGBTQI+ community in Africa.

    Misgendering, Deadnaming, Marginalising

    Trans people and non-binary identifying individuals in the LGBTQI+ community face Micro-aggressions from both within and outside the community. Micro-aggressions against Trans people and non-binary individuals can take various forms, including #misgendering, #deadnaming, and invalidating their gender identity. These Microaggressions can be particularly harmful and contribute to feelings of marginalization, distress, and invalidation. Research has shown that gender minority youth experience more familial #Microaggressions, invalidation of #LGBTQ identity, and threatening behaviours (Arijis Q. et. Al. 2023).

    "For instance, assuming that all individuals present as either male or female and failing to recognize non-binary or genderqueer identities can be a form of Micro-aggression. Additionally, making comments that link an Individual's LGBTQI+ identity with illness or pathology, or expressing surprise when someone's sexual orientation or gender identity is revealed, can also be harmful Micro-aggressions."

  29. Heute waren über 2000 Menschen am feministischen Kampftag in Münster auf der Straße ✊. Noch immer werden FLINTA* diskriminiert, Opfer von Femiziden und verrichten unbezahlte oder unterbezahlte Arbeit. Damit muss Schluss sein!

    Für die Freiheit und für den Feminismus! 💜

    Danke für die Orga an das Bündnis für sexuelle Selbstbestimmung @prochoice. 💜🔥
