going to be preparing an LGBT+ portal. What do you think should be in it? What would you like to see in it?
cross-posted from: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/6210416
For inspiration, look at our Marxism portal: https://en.prolewiki.org/index.php?title=Portal%3AMarxism
Feinberg, historical examples of trans people, LGBT+ history, critique of patriarchal family and it's role in perpetuating capitalism, assimilationism, medicalism, rainbow imperialism.
historical examples of trans people
piggybacking off of this, the nazi erasure of transgender history
Because it comes up alot and accurate information is painfully scattered, I'd love to see a few pages about different LGBTQ+ progress made under socialist parties, policies, objectives, and within AES (past and present).
We already have one! https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_and_issues_in_AES_countries
An analasis of gender and sex, showing the ways that sex is socially constructed from gender, a gendering of physical attributes. Its something that a lot of cishet leftists ive known dont think about; they accept without criticism that gender arises from sex instead. This is touched on lightly in the accellerator but a more thorough analysis would be useful (i dont have one to recommend, unfortunately, and i dont think im smart enough to write one myself).
There's a book called "fucking trans women" and I think that's neat.
Different terms than the intensely lib "lgbt+", I could rant on the politics of this for hours but as rhetoric it's so perfectly built to hierarchalize and exclude.
Also, the ability to call this portal down anywhere and exit at the destination of my choice.
they should proselytize this comm, of course. and have a bunch of trans diy stuff and resource lists
Thanks a lot for all the comments. We're sorting through them and will be using this feedback to structure the page.
