Girl Talk 2011 - Tobi Hill-Meyer

Tobi addresses the similarities between transmisogyny and femmephobia from her perspective as a butch trans woman, and explains the mutual ally relationship that she has formed with the cis femme women in her life.

Queer cisgender women and queer transgender women are allies, friends, support systems, lovers, and partners to each other. Girl Talk is a spoken word show fostering and promoting dialogue about these relationships.

Kudos!

I'm a (mostly femme) transguy, and related to a lot of what you had to say - just sort of from a "reversed" gender experience. I recall being mistaken for MtF at a queer party before, which was kind of cool in a way. I've considered doing drag (as a woman, not as a "drag king" as it seems trans guys are much more likely to do) and think it's awesome that you've done drag, too. To my knowledge I haven't met any other transwomen who've been drag kings, but I think it's fantastic!
