IS TRICARD
... "How does it ... feminist?" Is a collective of individual / sp trans, dykes, queers and queer organizing festive events but no less political in alternative venues to the business scene gay and lesbian. We organize events in nature "community" that are not intended to be open to everyone but that can collect much beyond simple peer relationships. They are open to people who agree that feminism and the rejection mechanisms of domination involves the sharing of a space / time group. "
However, no offense to those who live the community as transgouinespédés family: number of violence, including sexual, occur in the home environment. Thus, our environment - family or not - is not free from power relations (domination and privileges), reports violence and aggression. Some attacks are made public, and when they do we refuse to empower abusers by not responding.
As transpdgouines feminist collective organizer of events, one of our strategies is to Tricard notorious abusers of our spaces. We call this political practice to be systematic, so that people will ask the abused and abusers as people continue to deny, or refuse to begin a process of reflection about their attitudes and acts, among others while feeling self in feminist spaces or in events which are present the people they victimized.
Insofar as we can all one day be the aggressor and as someone e-there is no aggressor by each gasoline-e may elect to recognize (to apologize?) to question, to work on the place it occupies it in systems of oppression and abuse that may arise. That's why "Tricard one day" does not mean "always Tricard.
In this regard, tools for thinking outside the circuits of flychiatrie (forward without the cops or the shrinks), from the feminist and libertarian thoughts on violent behavior are available in infokiosk and on the Internet.
We do not equate those who defend and / or support the abusers and the abusers themselves - even. However, those who defend or support openly notorious abusers are not welcome in the space-time that we organize.
Indeed, we believe that immediately put into question the word of the one who denounces aggression (ask for evidence, expert investigation, pathologizing the person assaulted, etc..) Is to show solidarity of the aggressor. That guarantee its defense system, its lies and violence and those of patriarchy and sexism that trivialize and minimize the violence, legitimizes aggressors and reinforces their position of power.
Feminism teaches us, among other things that the personal is political.
Situations of violence taking place in the private sphere without visibilisées appear to us in a particularly complex because it seems impossible to make them public instead of those who suffered. Therefore we will promote space to denounce violence, aggression and the aggressors and will support those who denounce them.
Furthermore, we discuss the violence that we refuse to rank them (a humiliation is not inherently less violent than aggression physics, about exoticizing are a form of violence, the dredge insistent as a rape without penetration is not less serious than rape with penetration, etc.). Similarly, we are vigilant and try to es- respond to any aggression notorious that its springs are sexist, lesbo-homo-trans-phobic, racist, classist, toxicophobes, grossophobes, handiphobic, pro-rape, sérophobes, etc..
The strategy we have chosen to adopt (exclude known abusers and to lead their supporters in the space-time that we organize) is an emergency strategy and therefore a default policy. We assume and continue to assume, while thinking about strategies for the long term.
