COMMON GENDERS THURSDAY 19th JUNE
Common Genders is a Sheffield-based non-fiction socialist feminist reading group, hosted at Juno Books and online. This reading group is a chance for people in Sheffield to come together in an inclusive, non-partisan environment to discuss readings on various socialist feminist themes and topics.
The next session will be on Thursday 19th June, 7pm at Juno Books. For this month's session, we will be reading Trans Femme Futures: Abolitionist Ethics for Transfeminist Worlds by Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift, published by Pluto Press (2024)
'Femme' describes a constellation of queer, gendered expressions that uproot expectations of what it means to be feminine. Building upon experiences of transformation, belonging and harm, this book is a transfeminist call for collective liberation.
Trans Femme Futures envisions the future through everyday actions that revolutionise our lives. Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift discuss struggles around trans healthcare, the need for collectives over institutions, the importance of mutual care, and transfeminism as abolition.
The authors show how social change can be achieved through transformative practices that allow queer life to thrive in a time of climate, health, political and economic crises.
Supplementary resources include:
Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift will also be speaking at the Festival of Debate on Wednesday 21st May, 7pm-9pm at Soft Ground.
Common Genders is hosted by Sylvia, an editor at Ebb Magazine. If you have any queries or concerns, please contact sylvia@commongenders.org and also check out our social media.
