transI would like to, again, plug a conference we are having at my college, SUNY New Paltz, in New Paltz, NY on may 8th 2004. there may be a suggested donation pending budget stuff through the student association who is funding us.
It is called TRANSFORMING FEMINISM: we seek to explore the intersections between trans issues and feminism, breakdown myths, stereotypes, and such.

We just chose the workshops tonight, and there is a very exciting mix of types and contents of workshops that should appeal to any and everyone that wants to come.
I bring this up here because I'm a non-trans woman who identifies as a transfeminist and trans ally. Becoming involved in trans issues has made me realize that this is the activist issue that the passion in my heart has been seeking to combine with my feminism. To me there is an obvious connection between feminism and trans issues because feminism is basically about gender identity and breaking down the oppression of any and everyone.
Anyway, if you can't come to the conference I would love to talk to anyone about anything having to do with feminism and trans issues, or in the case that it gets very into theory or things i simply don't know about, hell, progress doesn't happen without educating oneself, i'd love to be challenged to tough conversations.
I thought I'd just put that out there and I hope some of you will be able to come to our conference. We're doing our best to provide housing for those folks who really would love to come and simply cannot afford a motel room, but i can't gaurantee anything.
Many <3s to all.
