August featured many activist development workshops including an Introduction to Photoshop and a Presentation on Lesbian & Feminist Film History.

Meem was delighted this month to host Sinan Goknur, a transgender activist from Lambda Istanbul and WWHR-New Ways in Turkey, who spoke about his experience as a feminist trans-guy. Sinan presented a paper about transphobia, gender identity, and the role of transgenders in the LGBT struggle. He also met several times with small groups of Meem members to talk more about transgender and queer theory. You can read his full paper entitled “What Happened to the T in LGBT?” here.
