a space for radical feminist, transgender, bisexual, and/or heterosexual women in the anti-imperialist activities that are to take place at the Summit in Copenhagen between December 13th and 15th.
We are a forum centered in Copenhagen and composed of groups and individuals with a feminist, lesbian and/or revolutionary left-wing orientation. Our goal is to develop methods of revolutionary and anti-capitalist analysis in the service of creating a space for radical feminist, transgender, bisexual, and/or heterosexual women in the anti-imperialist activities that are to take place at the Summit in Copenhagen between December 13th and 15th.
Our anti-imperialist tasks incorporate criticism of both imperialism and patriarchy; we recognize militancy as the natural form of expression in the radical left-wing movement. We do not use the neutral term of “globalization” to describe the imperialist structures we mean to attack, nor do we believe that our struggle against imperialism will conclude when the Copenhagen Summit concludes. For these reasons we do not wish to be part of existing movements that are addressed to males or to the masses at large. Our wish is to discuss how we are to carry on the anti-imperialist struggle from our positions as lesbian, transsexual, bisexual and heterosexual women, and how we might best coordinate our struggle to illuminate oppressive social structures.
We have organized an international space for the interchange of ideas and anti-imperialist activism as relate to the coming Summit in Copenhagen. The space will be available between December 12th and 15th at the Women’s House (Kvindehuset), Gothersgade 37, Copenhagen. All radical, feminist, lesbian, transsexual, bisexual and/or heterosexual women are invited to use this space as a coordination point for our struggle during the Summit.
We will facilitate accommodations, vegetarian food, information in English, Spanish, Danish and German about the demonstration and activities that will take place in the city. We will also provide maps of the city, information about legal assistance, etc. During evenings and nights the Women’s House bar will be open and meetings, preparation of banners, film shows, etc. will take place. Any proposal for activities and/or films is welcome.

Ans: To xxxx my xxxx.
Western Civilisation since neo-Platonic days has been built on patriarchy and exploitation of women and children.
Autonomy begins with Self.
The often painful realisation of this truth, influences many of transgender or lesbian/gay sexuality to adopt anarchist politics or philosophy.
as I´ve quiped before in a comment on Islam, "who sucked Socrates dick?".
IN a statement of support for two lesbian victims of homophobic attack in Barcelona issued by Stonewall last week in Barcelona support was given by the gay and transgender anarchist community to all victims of sexual/gender motivated attacks. Since that statement was issued roughly at the same time as the Assemblia de Okupes of Barcelona on the continuing incarceration of Valencia anarchists, it seems most likely that the Assembly of Okupes in Barcelona and thus lots and lots nay oodles of anarchists here support the lesbian and gay and trasngender community.
And the solidarity is mutual.
Heart and Mind.

Dont forget the struggle of Gays in the USA to join their military forces. Many Gays voted for George Bush and are proud to be American.
