"Identity is a shifting, changing chameleon. You would think that so many frames and seismic shiftings would result in a fragmented, dislocated being, but this is not so. Such shiftings and fragmentations impel us to use our imaginations to figure out who we are and who and what we can become." -Gloria E. Anzaldúa

Have you always wanted to crochet?
Let’s get together and do some needlework!
Come and join us and let’s make something nice together amongst community.
We will provide some wool and crochet hooks, but feel free to bring what you have at home. We will be happy to help you crochet simple patterns. Whether you are a beginner, a professional, have no idea about crocheting or have been doing it for years, we look forward to seeing you! Also it is not restricted to crochet, but that is what we can help you with/offer. If you want to knit or embroider, feel free to join and do your own thing! (:
We will also provide some drinks, cookies and a good mood. Feel welcome to bring snacks!
If the weather`s good we`re meeting at Tempelhofer Feld (take a look at the last slide for the exact location). If the weather is not good we will meet at LesMigraS` space.
Looking forward to seeing you! (:
German, English, Turkish and Spanish spoken language.

Transgender Day of Visibility
March 31st is Transgender Day of Visibility. Visibility means for many trans people, especially if they are affected by multiple discrimination, to put themselves in danger. Therefore, trans people experience a lot of pressure to be perceived as cis people in public.
Without equal rights, visibility is a privilege.
Visibility for us is also about places where trans people are welcome. Although trans people are supposed to be welcome in FLINTA (Women, Lesbian, Inter, Non-Binary, Trans, and Agender) spaces, many trans people experience discrimination and exclusion in these spaces.
We want real recognition instead of performative acceptance.
Now the draft for the Self-Determination Law is available, which will finally replace the outdated and discriminatory „Transsexual Law“ (TSG) of 1980.
We welcome the fact that trans people will soon be able to change their name and gender entry without an assessor’s opinion and court proceedings.
However, we also have some points of criticism:
The waiting period of 3 months until the change comes into force is too long.
The reference to the house-regulations to exclude trans female people from women’s spaces is transmisogyny.
We feel that trans people between the ages of 14 and 17 should also be able to determine their identity without the consent of their guardians.
The new Self-Determination Law must not reproduce trans discrimination again.
We demand equal access to all rights for all trans people.
Whether you are „visible“ or not - you are felt and loved!
Trans people, you matter because you exist!

Der 21. März ist der Internationale Tag gegen Rassismus. Als queere Beratungsstelle mit intersektionaler Ausrichtung versuchen wir Rassismus, Queer- und Transfeindlichkeit und weitere Diskriminierungsformen zusammen zu denken.

Wir haben unsere Kolleg*innen Yezenia und Gülây gefragt, wie sie aktuelle Entwicklungen in Bezug auf Rassismus in Berlin wahrnehmen und was ihre Wünsche sind.
