Genderbridge Commemorates Transgender Day of Remembrance
November 20th 2012
In honour of Transgender Day of Remembrance the Genderbridge Committee would like to make the following statement. We acknowledge and grieve the many losses that hatred and bigotry have enabled, within and beyond our whanau, and we stand in solidarity with those who work to end gender policing and staunch the flow of blood from our communities caused by racism, sexism, misogyny, transmisogyny, homophobia and queerphobia.
Transphobia is perpetuated by hostility to difference. This day of remembrance, if you look at the global lists of the people whom we honour and remember, reveals that racism is one of the most significant and damaging forces that trans* and gender diverse people face. We cannot respond to transphobia, or violence against trans* and gender diverse people, without acknowledging the intersections of other systemic forms of violence, such as colonization, racism, and sexism.
Genderbridge is not holding an official event this year, but we will, as an organisation, be standing alongside all those who support the self-determination of trans* and gender diverse people, who strive to make the world more hospitable to difference, more capable of holding and supporting the wide and beautiful range of humanity.
Our resolution, on this day, is to work with our members and other people and organisations to create kind and generous relationships. Relationships that enable communication and value sharing (and are also robust enough to hold conflict or difference) are crucial in the fight to create a more livable world. We hope that others will similarly continue or begin meaningful conversations and connections, individually, organizationally, and systemically, in honour of so many who have gone before us, whose struggle has made it more possible for us to be who we are now.-Joey Macdonald -

New Comic - WTF
WTF is WTF?
Here’s the video of our WTF campaign… It’s a new awareness and fundraising campaign to try and help Rainbow Youth and OUTLine keep supporting our queer and trans communities to end is discrimination in New Zealand. It’s been an absolute privelege to be a part of this project - and I’ve been overwhelmed at all the organisations and individuals who helped us out, and donating their time and services to us. We’ve managed to put this entire campaign together on a shoestring budget, and all the funds that WTF raise will go towards helping both organisations keep doing the amazing work that they’re doing Visit the site, and if you have $5 to spare, maybe you could start a regular donation to help these awesome organisations keep being awesome….

So in a bid to make cool things, and feel better about gender stuff, I made some promo magnets for Rooster Tails… and they arrived in the mail today, PRETTY:
(PS I’m bad at taking photos)
WANT ONE?
For NZ ppl: $2NZ each + $1NZ postage
For international ppl: $1.50US each + $2US postage
(postage remains the same no matter how many you order - so if you order one it’s $1NZ/$2US postage, and if you order five it’s still just $1NZ/$2US postage :) unless y’know, you order 1million… but I don’t have a million of them anyway…)
Just Click on the DONATE button on the website :D

FebFasting - Help Queer Youth
Click here for the comic :)
So folks - this year I’ll be participating in FebFast to help raise money for Rainbow Youth. I feel super passionate about this organisation, and have been volunteering for them since I moved up to Auckland. They have a drop in centre, education programme, run huis groups and events - and just generally support queer and trans young people in Auckland, and across New Zealand. So, yeh, I signed up to be a part of their team, and I’m really keen to help raise their target goal of $35,000… we’ve currently raised 1.8% of that amount - so we still have a ways to go. You can donate directly onto the team page here: http://www.febfastfundraising.co.nz/rainbow_youth Or you can donate via paypal with my donation button on my DONATE/BUY page. If you donate $NZ10 (Which is about $8 US, or $5 in british pounds) or more, I thought as a thankyou I could send you one of my Chubby Boys With Strap Ons postcards (see below)… I know it’s not much - but it’s a little something to say thank you, as your donation will really, really mean a lot to Rainbow Youth (just make a note of which one you want in the notes section of the paypal one, or send me an email if you donate directly (sorchard AT ymail DOT com - yes it’s a Y)
