Thistle was first advertised as a transfeminist gathering which we just changed to queerfeminist. We are planning to have a gathering that is open to and aims to be empowering for all oppressed genders and – by calling it transfeminist – tried to center the experiences of trans people as well as express a clear opposition to TERFs and other forms of cissexism and transmisogyny within the feminist movement. By this, we used the term transfeminist as we saw it being used before and were completely unaware of the history and the actual meaning of the term as a movement led by trans women and other people experiencing transmisogyny. We deeply apologize for this mistake and also for how long it took us to react after someone brought it up to us and we hope that “queerfeminist” expresses what we’re planning to do in a more accurate way.
