Pan-Femme Manifesto

Male-Born Femme and Queer Fat Femme can together push a Femme Cultural Revolution. Femme is a form of resistance to our dehumanizing late-modern Culture.
For Mabs (Male At Birth), a Femme gender offers us an alternative to the narrative of "Real Woman" which is so prevalent in contemporary transgender politics. We do not have to make biological claims to Femaleness, because Femme is acknowledged as artifice and performance. The performance of Femme however opens up to feminine cultural embodiment. We are treated as feminine and become feminine.
Queer girls have been pioneering this gender activism in San Francisco and Brooklyn. I invite Genderqueer Mabs take inspiration and direction from their pioneering work.

hi there

i'm a fat femme and was quite interested in your manifesto film. i'm part of a group in sydney called the fat femme front.. i'm wondering how you'd feel about me playing this at an event we're having in May. Altho I'm kind of wondering if you felt happy with this if it were possible to get it in another format other than youtube. Understand if your not cool with too.Love to hear back from you!

Ya I like the lighting too. I am finally figuring out how to get this overexposed saturated look that I see in movies.

Great idea. I support this allegiance. Also like the words fab and mab.
