i attended my first meeting for the collective for the Dyke Trans march 07 yesterday. it felt really good to get involed in some activism and meet cool be people who are really progressvie. there was a a long discussion about who can be invovled in the working porject and therefore what is the aim and focus of the rally. This was perfect for me to see where these people are coming from and what they want to acheive, and also have a bit of a brief into the process invovled in campaigns and also the deabtes that are going on within the left queer scene here.
it is a dyke trans community based project that aims to address that fact that within queer communties sexism and transphobia is prevalent. Which is also the case in Melbourne. The difference here is that this is a group which stems not only from the mainstream gltbi community but also from the left-queer scene, which predominantly deals with broader politics. also now i hope when i go to cool queer events there will be some familiar faces!
