MANIFESTO FOR THE TRANS-FEMINIST
INSURRECTION
We call for trans-feminist insurrection:
We come from radical feminism, we are the dykes, the whores, the trans, the immigrants, the blacks, the hetero dissidents… we are the rage of the feminist revolution and we want to bear our teeth;
out of the offices of gender and politically correct, and that our desire guides us continuing to be politically incorrect, bothering, rethinking and changing the signification of our mutations.
Being just women isn't enough anymore. We have outgrown "Women" as the political subject of feminism, and it is in itself exclusive, it leaves out the dykes, trans, the whores, the one who wear
veils, the ones who earn little and don't go to the university, the ones who yell, the immigrants without legal resident papers, the fags.
Let's dynamite the sex and gender binominal as a political practice. Let's follow the path that we began, "one is not born a woman but becomes one", let's continue unmasking the power structure, the
division and hierarchy. If we can't learn that the man/woman difference is a cultural product, just as the hierarchal structure that oppresses us, we reinforce the structure that tyrannizes us: the
"man/woman" borders. Everyone produces gender, we produce freedom. Arguments with countless genders…
We call for reinvention based on desire, the fight with our bodies before any totalitarian regime. Our bodies are ours!, as well as their limits, mutations, colors and transactions. We don't need
protection over the decisions our bodies, we transmute our genders, we are what we want to be, transvestites, dykes, super-fems, butches, whores, transgenders, we wear veils and speak Wolof; we are
network: furious pack.
We call for insurrection, for the occupation of the streets, to the blogs, to disobedience, to not ask for permission, to generate alliances and structures of our own: let's not defend ourselves,
make them fear us!
We are a reality, we operate in different cities and contexts, we are connected we have common objectives and we won't be silenced now. Feminism will be trans-feminist or not at all…
We luv you.
