Creating Change, Oakland 2005

We just got back from Creating Change. Both Lisa and I were there this year - she was there for the entire week, and I was there for the last two days of the conference. It was held in Oakland and there were a ton of people. We got to connect with some folks (if you're out there and reading this - it was great to see you) and hand out a ton of postcards. We also got to speak to some people about submitting pieces to the website. Love it!

Highlights included the POC and sexuality workshop - talk about living out a busted binary - that was awesome. We touched upon a ton of stuff including: gender identity, religion, polyamory, incest, mixed race identity, class, lesbian feminism, s&m and much, much more. Wow. Other highlights included Urvashi Vaid's call to the movement. Maybe one day we can get a copy of her statements up here.

And, there are other highlights which we will touch upon later. Peace.

Week Two

Well, we are going on two weeks that our website has been up and live. We've had the opportunity to get the word out by email. Next week, we will be handing out postcards at Creating Change, in Oakland and hopefully connecting with all the wonderful folks from around the country.

We'll also be doing a mailing the week after. If you would like to join our mailing list, please send an email to bustingbinaries@yahoo.com.

Thank you to the folks who have provided such wonderful comments.
