LESBIANS ON THE LOOSE  

OCTOBER 1994 • ISSUE 98 • VOL NO 10  

FREE  

Lesbian space for tranys?  

By Barbara Farrelly  

move to restrict membership of the Lesbian Space  

Project to women-born-women has brought the  

transgender lobby into conflict with lesbian  

separatists.  

Transgenders who identify as women and as  

lesbians are presently able to become members of the  

Lesbian Space Project, but following the expulsion of  

tranys from this year's National Lesbian Contest in  

Brisbane, LSP Co-convenor, Sand Hall, confirmed  

bid to amend the constitution to exclude tranys.  

Coincidentally, Mardi Gras has announced the  

women-only Labrys bar at Sleaze Ball is open to  

'those who genuinely identify as women'.  

While some lesbians are threatening to pull out  

over the sanction of tranys as members of LSP,  

spokesperson Aidy Griffin says Sydney's Transgender  

Liberation Coalition (TLC) is 'absolutely determined'  

to challenge 'hate mongers' and 'backwoodswimmin'.  

"If LSP is not prepared to stand up to that tiny  

minority of women who have been pedalling hate  

and prejudice that seems to me to flow from their own  

inability to confront desires, it begs the question,  

'Who is the Lesbian Space Project for?' Is it remedial  

centre for hangovers from the seventies?" Griffin  

says.  

Deni Sevenoaks claims "a lot of lesbians" oppose  

the inclusion of tranys and she accuses the LSP  

Caretaker Committee of "a betrayal of trust" and the  

co-convenors of failing to consult with the lesbian  

community.  

"The last heard [LOTL, June 1993] was this was  

woman-born-woman space and that is the premise  

on which and hundreds of other women have  

been fundraising for LSP.  

"We're talking about the existence of the  

cornerstone of lesbian space, something we've been  

fighting for ad nauseam for 20 years. "Women do not  

understand the concept of lesbian space as including  

tranys, that's the first issue. The second issue is the  

Cont. on pA...
