Allie (She/Her/Elle)<p>Huge thanks to Dinux for donating a canopy to The Genital Autonomy Collective! 💛💜 This increases accessibility tabling at events like Pride to raise awareness for Hadachek v. Oregon, a case fighting to expand the genital cutting ban to all children, including circumcision of those assigned male at birth and intersex kids.</p><p>This case has deep implications for trans, intersex, and gender-diverse folks. Our shared fight is for *intersectional* bodily autonomy, and Oregonians have a unique chance to lead the way.</p><p>GAC offers uniquely intersectional advocacy opportunities and support groups for those impacted:<br><a href="https://autonomycollective.org/groups.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">autonomycollective.org/groups.</span><span class="invisible">html</span></a></p><p>I’ll also be using the canopy for local mutual aid when not tabling.

Allie (She/Her/Elle)<p># Hadachek v. Oregon Intact Global 2025 Press Conference <br>Please let me know if you find more news coverage on this. We at the Genital Autonomy Collective spoke about intersectionality at the Intact Global 2025 press conference and hopefully some of the news will also mention that. The Hadacheck v. Oregon case will expand opportunities for trans, intersex, and gender diverse people in ways that more people need to be aware of. Circumcision impacts gender affirming surgery options, and impacts our freedom as well, and we're fighting with the broader genital autonomy movement for our shared rights.</p><p>An excerpt from my speech: <br>"Genital cutting is often talked about in the categories of male, female, and intersex, but those categories are not distinct in reality. People inherently defy those arbitrary boundaries. Because of this, many of the children assigned male at birth and subjected to penile circumcision, or other childhood genital cutting, are transgender, intersex, and otherwise gender-diverse<br>... Circumcision, by removing genital tissue and creating scars, physically limits options for adults seeking genital surgery. This stands in the way of our freedom to make the choice for ourselves as adults just like it does for boys and men. We are working with the intactivist movement for our shared freedom." <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/S4-Cva6dVu4?si=uO4-J9OzUMfypDZD&t=5127" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/live/S4-Cva6dVu4?s</span><span class="invisible">i=uO4-J9OzUMfypDZD&t=5127</span></a></p><p>With attention and advocacy opportunities the challenge is bringing, The Genital Autonomy Collective is in need of more volunteers to help. Please message me if you're interested in supporting intersectional genital autonomy for all children in Oregon. While we welcome help of all kinds, we specifically need help with: Graphic design, web design, contacts with press, fundraising, social media management, writing, non profit experience, academic research opportunities, tabling events, etc. </p><p>Intact Global is also looking for Intersex plaintiffs who have experienced Intersex related genital cutting in Oregon at any date to add to the Equal Protection Challenge against forced, non-religious genital mutilation. As well as trans plaintiffs who have experienced penile circumcision in Oregon to add to the legal challenge.</p><p>Please email me at Allie@autonomycollective.org if you'd like to come forward as a plaintiff or are interested in volunteering. If you're in need of support on violated genital autonomy or would like to help advocate you can join a group at our website: <a href="https://autonomycollective.org/groups.html" rel="nofollow

Broadwaybabyto<p>The U.S. has become a fascist state.

Stop traveling there. Stop vacationing there. Stop looking the other way and get radicalized. Get involved. Find ways to resist. </p><p>Whatever happens, don’t tell people to “just leave”. People are trapped. It costs money, time and resources that most don’t have to be able to relocate. Many countries would take you if you’re disabled or trans. Leaving is NOT the answer. </p><p>We have to recognize this as a powerful moment of intersectionality and work together to save as many lives as we can. </p><p>There are more of us than there are of them.</p><p>Also don’t be afraid to take breaks. You don’t need to be informed 24/7. You don’t need to fight every battle. Rest and recharge when needed.</p><p>And please wear a mask. It’s much easier to resist when you have your health.

Jay Baker<p>Generally speaking, it's easy to differentiate the clout-chasing, performative activists who desperately want to be *seen* "doing good", from the real deal who do it just because they want to do good.

Mix Mistress Alice💄<p>"Identity is, for me, a point of departure for alliances, which need to include all kinds of people, from trans to working people to those taxi drivers that J. K. Rowling is worried about. Identity is a great start for making connections and becoming part of larger communities. But you can’t have a politics of identity that is only about identity. If you do that, you draw sectarian lines, and you abandoned our interdependent ties."—Judith Butler [interviewed by Iker Seisdedos on El País - English] ></p><p><a

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today, in honor of Black History Month, we remember Flo Kennedy, who was born on this date February 11, 1916, in Kansas City, Missouri. Kennedy was a lawyer, feminist and civil-rights activist. As a lawyer, she represented Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Assata Shakur, H. Rap Brown, and Valerie Solanas (for her attempted murder of Andy Warhol). In 1972 she formed the Feminist Party and filed an Internal Revenue Service complaint alleging that the Catholic Church violates tax-exempt requirements by spending money to influence political decisions. "I'm just a loud-mouthed middle-aged colored lady . . . & a lot of people think I'm crazy. Maybe you do too, but I never stop to wonder why I'm not like other people. The mystery to me is why more people aren't like me."</p><p>She grew up at a time when the KKK was quite active in Kansas City. She remembered her father had to have a shotgun to keep them safe. "My parents gave us a fantastic sense of security and worth. By the time the bigots got around to telling us that we were nobody, we already knew we were somebody." As a young woman, she moved to Harlem and enrolled at Columbia. She was refused admission to their law school because she “was a woman.” She knew it was because she was black. So, she threatened to sue them and they admitted her. She was the only black person among the eight women in her class.</p><p>As an activist, she once said, "we have a pathologically, institutionally racist, sexist, classist society. And that niggerizing techniques that are used don't only damage black people, but they also damage women, gay people, ex-prison inmates, prostitutes, children, old people, handicapped people, native Americans. And that if we can begin to analyze the pathology of oppression… we would learn a lot about how to deal with it." As early as 1966, she was picketing and lobbying the media over their portrayal of Black people. She played a prominent role in the protest against the 1968 Miss America Pageant. After the Attica prison uprising, she said, “We do not support Attica. We ARE Attica.” She also participated in the 1973 protests at Harvard over the lack of women’s bathrooms. When asked why she participated in the pouring of urine on the steps of Lower Hall, she said, “I'm just a loud-mouthed middle-aged colored lady with a fused spine and three feet of intestines missing and a lot of people think I'm crazy. Maybe you do too, but I never stop to wonder why I'm not like other people. The mystery to me is why more people aren't like me.</p><p>In addition to her activism and legal work, Kennedy also acted in the films “The Landlord” (1970), adapted from Kristin Hunter's 1966 novel, and the independent political drama “Born In Flames” (1983), directed by Lizzie Borden.
