It’s almost as if I have January off!
I mean I don’t, I am still writing and working and preparing for workshops and etc, but I don’t have ANY gigs of my own—I’m not producing any events or teaching any workshops. Not sure when the last month was where that happened, but it’s been a while!
Oh wait—spoke too soon. There is one. But it’s not in person and it’s porn so that barely counts.

| Saturday January 15, 12noon-late | Beyond Visibility: Illuminating and Aligning Femmes in NYC will be a day-long event for queer folks on a self-identified femme/inine spectrum to come together in conversation, coalition, and celebration of *all* the parts of ourselves and our many communities. We aim to illuminate the cultural, political and artistic work of all participating individuals and groups; to create and hold space to ally with and learn from each other; and discuss ways to align organizing to ensure that femme communities grow as generative, intersectional sites of gender justice.

| Saturday, January 21, 2-7pm IN TORONTO | The Sex Talk Series presents: No More Apologies: Queer Trans and Cis* Women, Coming/Cumming Together! A FREE conference about social exclusion, sex, and sexual health. No More Apologies is a day-long sex talk, designed to name and address the exclusion of queer trans women from broader queer women’s sexual communities.
Social exclusion negatively impacts trans queer women’s sexual, emotional, and psychological health; meanwhile, by excluding trans women from our communities, cis queer women are missing out on a multitude of sexy, wonderful women to love, fuck, and connect with. Join us for this long overdue conversation and call-to-action about how to transform our talk about trans inclusion into practice. The Facebook event has more information. |
