Poster for featuring a colourful drawing of a cocktail. Text reads as follows. Oestrogenesis - hot doll summer. Hosted by Medea. Performers - Fair Verona, Nat Raha, Ruth Pearce, DJs Husane and Arcadio. Raising funds for Brooklyn's visa fees. Doors 6:30pm. Party starts 7pm. Stereo, 14th May.

The event will also feature performances from drag artists Medea and Fair Verona, more spoken word from Nat Raha, and DJ sets from Husane and Arcadio.

We’ll be fundraising for Brooklyn, a Cherokee two spirit woman and recent graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. She is currently is trying to raise money for a graduate visa to stay in Glasgow, where she will be safer than the USA.

If you’re free on Thursday and live in or near Glasgow, join us for an excellent night of performance and dancing! Medea, a true pillar of our community in Glasgow, has been doing an incredible job running Oestrogenesis nights over the last couple of years. So I am super excited to be taking to the stage for this one.

Building our own power: the Glasgow Transfem Electrolysis Project

Last year I joined the Glasgow Transfem Electrolysis Project, a super cool initiative which is raising money to train and equip two community members as electrolysists. Building on the example of Electrolysis by Siobhan, who opened her service off the back of a similar project in Manchester, the project’s aim is to ensure affordable and safe hair removal for trans women and non-binary people.

In an era of continued NHS failings and civil rights rollbacks, it’s important to be reminded of the power that lies in coming together as a community and working towards a common goal in our collective interest. Hateful policymakers and journalists can never take that away from us.

You can donate to the fundraiser here. We are also running LOVE ELECTRIC, a gig at Mono in Glasgow on Thursday 13th February, with pop, folk, punk, and drag artists. If you’re local, please come by to learn more about the project, and see some incredible live performers! I’m really excited for what’s going to be an amazing night.

Gig tickets are available here.
