I have this frustrating feeling that I had an idea for one of my research projects at one point, but for the life of me I cannot remember what it could be
yesterday a trans girl was complaining that her new breasts were making it hard to play guitar... so, naturally, I relayed the legend of amazon warriors amputating one tit for better archery
The oppression against Transvestites of either sex arises from sexist values and this oppression is manifested by heterosexuals and homosexuals of both sexes in the form of exploitation, ridicule, harrassment, beatings, rapes, murders.
Because of this oppression the majority of transvestites are forced into the street and we have formed a strong alliance with our gay sisters and brothers of the street. Who we are a part of and represent we are; a part of the REVOLUTIONARIES armies fighting against the system.
1. We want the right to self-determination over the use of our bodies; the right to be gay, anytime, anyplace; the right to free physiological change and modification of sex on demand; the right to free dress and adornment. 2. The end to all job discrimination against transvestites of both sexes and gay street people because of attire. 3. The immediate end of all police harrassment and arrest of transvestites and gay street people, and the release of transvestites and gay street people from all prisons and all other political prisoners. 4. The end to all exploitive practices of doctors and psychiatrists who work in the field of transvestism. 5. Transvestites who live as members of the opposite gender should be able to obtain identification of the opposite gender. 6. Transvestites and gay street people and all oppressed people should have free education, health care, clothing, food, transportation, and housing. 7. Transvestites and gay street people should be granted full and equal rights on all levels of society, and full voice in the struggle for liberation of all oppressed people. 8. An end to exploitation and discrimination against transvestites within the homosexual world. 9. We want a revolutionary peoples’ government, where transvestites, street people, women, homosexuals, puerto ricans, indians, and all oppressed people are free, and not fucked over by this government who treat us like the scum of the earth and kills us off like flies, one by one, and throws us into jail to rot. This government who spends millions of dollars to go to the moon, and lets the poor Americans starve to death.
