Grindhouse: Death Proof (2007)

Here is sociologist, trans and sex worker activist Roberta Perkins (1940-2018), at the opening of Tiresias House in Sydney - a shelter that housed vulnerable women, both cis and trans. Dr. Perkins was one of the first out trans women in Australia to get a PhD. She was a founder of the Australian Transsexual Association and lobbied tirelessly for the rights of trans people and sex workers her entire life. I cannot recommend enough this incredible paper on the history of the Tiresias House - authored by a queer cis feminist - about the shared struggles both cis and trans women have ('the girls'). Every right-wing claim about us being predators is totality invalidated by looking at history. The history of Tiresias House - while not idyllic by any means - should serve as testament to the importance of solidarity between cis and trans women (not to mention sex workers and civilians) in the fight against patriarchy - and indeed - survival. Here are some examples of Roberta Perkins' work.
