Lesbian, feminist, Former Member of the National Council of Austria, and advisory group member on the Lesbian Project, Faika has been pilloried for her refusal to play by the gender identity rules
Powerful. This is my intro to Faika (thank you Julie for platforming her here). it’s very heartening to see (hear) from next gen activists (I’m old and leaving the scene soon I guess 😔). Was appalled to hear everyone turning against her but wasn’t too clear what the issue was? Something like “trans ‘women’ are men”? Reminded me of my time when I was working and we were organizing a union. Some (like me) wanted statements in our charter re: anti-discrimination (race, sex, LBGT, etc). About half (mostly men) were vehemently against this (stems from Marxism I think: class above all?) Luckily, we had more supporters than not so we weren’t shut out. What Faika describes (no support?!) is kinda mind boggling and sad. Hope to hear more from her, what short time I have remaining in this life 😔.

Great video! Yes! LGB is different than TQ+++
Thanks for this heartfelt dialog
Podcasts are great, but a transcript is even better. I seem to absorb more reading than listening.
