<p>thanks nate. the terms are and will be constantly evolving, so
will always benefit from being revisited & discussed. i'm fine
with "women, lesbians & trans*" for now, if everyone else is.</p>

<p>hi helen, <br>
</p>
<p>thank you for your feedback and comments. we did indeed talk a
lot about how to describe our identity politics.</p>
<p>i have summed up some additional thoughts (mostly what we also
talked about but some also in addition to that):<br>
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>the phrasing "women, lesbians and trans*" pays tribute to a
branch of lesbian theory that makes a constructivist claim
about gender, popularized by monique wittig (afaik). it states
that lesbians are indeed not, or at least different than women
because the social gender of 'women' is defined in relation to
'men' (and lesbian identity would rather be defined in
relation to other lesbians or women). of course many lesbians
identify as women, such as some trans people, which are
sometimes also lesbians :) so it is not three different
categories, they are all intertwined. <br>
</p>
<p>and then there is another, historical argument for the
additional naming of lesbians, which is the importance of
their contribution to the 'women's movement'.Β i think that
the phasing 'women and lesbians' and later 'women, lesbians
and trans*' also has a tradition in early feminist organizing
but i would have to research that... </p>
<p>if we only name the 'women, lesbians and trans*, the 'trans*'
is meant to include non-binary people as they mostly
transitioned away from their assigned sex at birth, even if
they are not binary trans. however that is not true for inter
people, which is not so cool i guess.</p>
<p>so so other possibility is to go with the german acronym
FLINTA which includes 'women, lesbians, inter, non-binary,
trans and agender people'.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>i would wait a week or two to see if other people want to add
something to this discussion before i upload the entry to
alexandria.</p>
<p>cheers,</p>
<p>nate</p>

<p>hi everyone!</p>
<p>we took profit of this session to catch up and chat a bit
with natx and carmela. we took some time to discuss the
different phrasing options to replace the third and fourth
iteration of "women" by a more relevant one, and we come up
with a proposal for updating some bits. <br>
