On invitations to dialogue by UK trans-exclusionary radical feminists Sara Ahmed reminds us ‘The policing of the boundaries of “women” has never not been disastrous for feminism’ & so ‘A refusal to have some dialogues & some debates is thus a key tactic for survival’ (p. 31). 2/

I loved reading this poetry & catching up with the incredible work @michacardenas is creating through poetry/bioart/gaming. Also reminded me how much I enjoyed being a part of the @CLPPtweets conference community in 2015 & 2018, a space working to queer reproductive justice. 3/
