Looking to bring trans performers/artists/DJs to Montreal
I Want Your Sex Too! is a monthly cabaret and dance party in Montreal, QC that is curated by and for trans* folk.
The goals of I Want Your Sex Too! are as follows:
-to raise $$$ for local trans people to cover various costs of transitioning
-to provide a cultural space for trans people to showcase their art** (ie: music, drag, spoken word, photography, film, performance art, etc)
-to provide a space for trans folk to share and learn skills (ie: DJ, sound/tech stuff, make a flier)
*trans is used as an umbrella term meant to encompass all those who self-identify as transsexual, transgender, transvestite, trans, genderqueer, gender non-conforming, gender-variant, agender, crossdresser, non-cisgendered, non-cissexual, drag king, drag queen, drag, MTF, FTM and/or some combination of the above identities.
**I Want Your Sex Too! recognizes that for most trans people, "trans" is only one aspect of their day-to-day world. I Want Your Sex Too! also understands that many trans folk belong to numerous marginalized communities simultaneously. Thus, I Want Your Sex Too! encourages artwork/submissions from trans people of colour, trans sex workers, sero-positive trans people, trans people living with disabilities, poor trans people, and many other trans folk that experience intersecting forms of oppression.
***Unless noted otherwise, people of any (or no) gender are free to attend all events organized by I Want Your sex Too!***
