CFP - TRANSFEMINISM: AN ANTHOLOGY

Editors: Emi Koyama & Diana Courvant
Email: [log in to unmask]
Web Site: http://www.transfeminism.org/

We are seeking contributors for a new multi-cultural anthology finally
integrating feminism with lived experiences of intersex and trans
people. The anthology, _Transfeminism_, will give voice to those who
stand in the gap created by common hostility between some members of
feminist and trans movements and call attention to the existence of
feminists with intersex or trans identities. Intersex/trans feminists
and their allies face a number of barriers to dismantling the
oppressions which target them, some related to identities as women,
trans people, or intersex folks, but many not. Accepted contributions
will explore ways in which synthesizing trans, intersex and feminist
thinking and experiences can help overcome those barriers to ending
sex- and gender-based oppressions.

Writings that speak to the realities of complex lives, and insights
from people who are members in more than one community are
particularly valued. The anthology will derive wisdom from many
communities and cultures. Contributors are free to write in the form
and language that work best to communicate their ideas.

Send a short proposal/abstract or a manuscript by December 1, 2000.
Proposals that are selected by the editors will be due February 1,
2001. Please send the material as an email attachment to
[log in to unmask] or to Emi Koyama, Transfeminist Anthology
Project, P.O. Box 40570, Portland, OR 97210-0570. When possible,
please include a floppy disk with postal mail submissions. We accept
most common document formats (e.g. Word, WordPerfect).

Potential topics include:

how trans/intersex oppression appears or manifests in different
communities; medical ethics (transitioning, intersex management,
etc.); transphobia, a weapon of sexism; reproductive choice, bodily
autonomy and intersex/trans people; how trans/intersex men can educate
other men about sexism; intersex/trans workers and imagery in sex
industry; relations and interactions between trans and intersex
communities; appropriation of intersex/trans existence; how trans/
intersex existence challenge previous feminist theories; why are we so
scared of intersex/trans people; how feminism has helped trans/
intersex people; feminist analysis of body image/consciousness and
intersex/trans experience; relations (or lack thereof) between anti-
FGM movement and anti-IGM movement in the U.S.; violence against women
and queers; language: what is inclusive language in a multi-lingual
country?; anything related to "Barbie" and other topics that can get
us sued (more publicity!); invisible gender transgressions; political
paradox: taking actions, holding beliefs and having an identity your
community does not endorse (personal is political revisited);
intersection of experiences of people with disabilities & trans/
intersex people; analysis of pathologization and stigmatization of
gender identity disorder; class/race analysis of language/image/
leadership and trans/intersex movements; pop culture representation of
intersex/trans existence (that evil Springer included); immigration

sex: how do trannies have sex? is tranny sex feminist?; analysis of
MtF privilege over FtMs; invisibility of FtM existence and issues;
gatekeeping women's communities; significant others of intersex/trans
people; locating trans/intersex people in radical feminst sexual
politics; boxers, briefs, or french cut with a little lace?; feminist
transphobia and trans misogyny; horizontal hostility within intersex/
trans communities; historical analysis/ history; intersection of
ageism/adultism and trans/intersex community/activism/ leadership/
images; analysis of the benefits of SRS; drag: is it being the gender
you're not, or not being the gender you are?; trans/intersex inclusion
in queer communities; redefining identity politics; privilege:
creating new models; passing and privilege: what can intersex/trans
communities learn from communities of color?; religion and women,
trans people, and intersex people; role of sexual/romantic
relationships in building bridges between intersex/trans feminists and
non-intersex/trans feminists; conservatism within feminism and trans/
intersex movements; humor (oops, wait, I forgot we were feminists!)
