14:00, Zingel 20
The lecture will be held in German.
The young movement of transfeminism regards the realities of trans women’s life under a revolutionary lens. Transfeminists reject the mainstream focus on identity and validity, on diversity an participation, and instead set their approach on class war and gender liberation. Central here is the subject of the trans woman and how she can attain her necessary place in the women’s movement. In the lecture we want to talk about the basics of transfeminism, about marxist analyses of patriarchy and capitalism, about the problems of mainstream queer politics and about fundamental criticism of queerfeminism. We want to empower trans women, show them their worth, what they’re able to and show approaches how to survive the next years.
