Help! I Think I Might Be Non-Binary, But How Can I Know? Two Spirits, One Heart, Five Genders - Indian Country Media Network. “The New World.”
This romanticized term inspired legions of Europeans to race to the places we live in search of freedoms from oppressive regimes or treasures that would be claimed in the name of some European nation. Those who arrived in the Native American Garden of Eden had never seen a land so uncorrupted. The Europeans saw new geography, new plants, new animals, but the most perplexing curiosity to these people were the Original Peoples and our ways of life. Of all of the foreign life ways Indians held, one of the first the Europeans targeted for elimination was the Two Spirit tradition among Native American cultures. At the point of contact, all Native American societies acknowledged three to five gender roles: Female, male, Two Spirit female, Two Spirit male and transgendered.

Finds Them and Kills Them Closer To Home. The Zuni Man-Woman. Four years earlier Cushing had brought a delegation of Zuni Indians on a much-publicized tour of the East.
Stevenson decided she had to keep up, and so early that year she brought a remarkable cultural ambassador to the nation’s capital. The Zuni “princess” We’wha (WAY-wah), as the local papers dubbed her, was an instant celebrity. Throughout the spring of 1886, she mingled with politicians, government officials, politicians, and the local elite. She befriended the speaker of the house and called on his wife. Finally, in early June, she paid a personal call on President Cleveland himself. Washington society would have been shocked to learn the truth about We’wha.

BODY // Queer Bodies and Performance: An Interview with Mad Kate. Interview by Göksu Kunak in Berlin // Wednesday, Apr. 27, 2016 I have been stalking Mad Kate since I watched the documentary Sisterhood by the director Marit Östberg, on how to make queer porn.
Besides her collaborations with Östberg and other influential artists such as the Tide, Mad Kate writes and performs her texts for HYENAZ, a “Techno shamanistic electro performance duo” that she founded with producer and performer TUSK. Despite the hegemony of the nuclear family in our society, Mad Kate has a family that consists of three parents, three homes and a child. The performance ‘WOMB mamapapadada HOME’, which looks at alternative possibilities for building a family, took place at nGbK on April 24th. We met at Mad Kate’s studio-living space EXIT to talk about her perception of the body as a queer performance artist, activist and sex worker.

Politiques sexuelles et politiques d’immigration sont souvent étroitement liées.
Féminisme et politiques sexuelles progressistes sont instrumentalisés pour diaboliser des minorités religieuses et ethniques. L’État, par sa rhétorique de guerre et sa politique d’immigration, cherche à opposer les femmes et les minorités sexuelles aux nouvelles minorités religieuses, alors même que ces identités s’entremêlent : il y a des mouvements féministes musulmans, des organisations homosexuelles arabes, des coalitions diverses où des gens venus de tous ces groupes travaillent ensemble contre les discriminations, l’acharnement policier et la violence d’État. Les politiques sexuelles sont souvent étroitement mêlées aux politiques d’immigration qui, en particulier aux USA et en Europe, sont liées à des guerres (Irak et Afghanistan) dont les justifications perpétuent une certaine confusion : sont-ce des guerres contre le terrorisme, la tyrannie, l’islam lui-même ?
