Transgressing Gender Conference: Two is not enough for gender (e)quality

Zagreb, Croatia, 7 - 9 October 2005.

Society's concepts of sex and gender must be challenged. These concepts =
are more fluid now than they have ever been. However, as the struggle =
for gender equality and freedom of gender expression intensifies, =
communities that could be working together are becoming more and more =
divided. What does it mean for the sisterhood of feminism when someone =
who was born with testicles, someone who will never menstruate, wants to =
be accepted as one of their own? Can someone assigned male at birth ever =
really be a woman? What should be done when a baby is born with =
"ambiguous" genitalia? Furthermore, is gender socially constructed, or =
wired into our brains? Can an androgynous person actually exist in a =
gender-free identity? Can a man with a vagina really call himself a man? =
And what does all this mean on the larger scale of human rights? Is =
gender in and of itself a human rights issue? These questions seem to be =
affecting communities all over the globe and we want some answers. And =
so, we bring you the Transgressing Gender Conference: Two is not enough =
for gender (e)quality.

For more information and updates about the conference, and an =
