Femme-inism Against Cisness: Bread, Roses, and Hormones, Too

Friday September 4, 2026 4:30pm - 6:00pm CDT

Join Sophie Lewis for a conversation about “femmunism,” life-making labor, whorish artifice, gender-maximalism, transfeminist abolitionism, and the class war from above waged upon us by contemporary misogynist and femmephobic enemy feminisms.
