Cops Don't Make Us Safe: trans-liberalism and anti-violence politics

Sunday, 5 February 2017 - 11:00am to 11:30am

Regrette Etcetera, Sydney-based DJ, writer and artist speaks about transliberalism: a political framework that seeks to assimilate trans people into the existing social hierarchies of the capitalist state.

Transliberalism privileges representation over redistribution; trans people in successful positions, e.g. CEO, celebrity, police officer, are celebrated as the modern success stories.

Regrette Etcetera speaks to us from an anti-capitalist framework, and seeks justice for all.

This show contains segments of a talk delivered at the Rad Queer Fest, in Sydney during January 2017.
