Listen Up!

Lots of things we experience for the first time, but this is our first post on tumblr (under this account)

we (I keep saying we but it's just me here) are gonna document to the best of our ability the ongoings behind putting on our event Oh look a ticket link

On Saturday the 4th of April we will be hosting our first night, this is an event to showcase and platform trans performers in the UK (sorry we're in london I hate it too)

Money raised will be going to The Trans+ Solidarity Alliance and Defund Transphobes charities

The Trans+ Solidarity Alliance is a group that works with established organisations to facilitate progressive change in the UK for trans folks

Defund Transphobes is a grass roots charity that helps local groups organise to protest and raise awareness of the sources of money that funds anti trans sentiment and legislation.

BUT

we aren't just about raising money for charities we are also (mostly in fact) about helping trans people in the arts to have a stage, audience and most importantly pay.

Trans artists like @neosayshey who designed our poster

anyway I guess I'm pinning this post,

Sesame Street once parodied Boardwalk Empire as "Birdwalk Empire," with ducks and chickens fighting over who walks the right way on the Birdwalk.
