While a lot of consciousness raising activism for the well being of the LGB community exist in the West similar actions for transsexuals and intersex people is sorely lacking. Personally, I have observed the lack of activism in these groups first hand. The fact that certain activists literally thrive on ignoring transsexual or intersex issues [...]]]></description>

Violent suppression of initiatives we cannot understand or even deaths in the African Diaspora as well as the African LGBTI set us back for generations but worse still is the hypocrisy and corruption that blinds us to this fact.

In their article “Gay Imperialism: Gender and Sexuality Discourse in the &#8216;War on Terror&#8217;” (2008),   Jin  Haritaworn, Tamsila Tauqir and Esra Erdem critique white gay discourses in Germany and Britain that  trade in Islamophobic constructions of a gay-friendly, sexually liberated &#8216;West&#8217; and a homophobic,  sexually oppressive &#8216;Islam&#8217; as the West&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Recently, I remembered helping a friend, Susan Giwa, work on a piece about activism,  oppression and separatism amongst women&#8217;s groups.   I found myself pondering the backlash that could arise as a result of criticising the work of such reactionary enclaves.  
Susan, a citizen of Mushin Oloosha is a photo-journalist, transgender rights [...]]]></description>

What has captures me the most about living in a new democracy is the fact that we are living completely different times; the struggle has continued from being what it was to one that is almost too complicated to fight. Although we are living in a completely different time, the effects of apartheid linger over [...]]]></description>

The act of being Ignorant does not arise out of thin air but when a person from any enclave latches onto the words of a drunk  and uses those words as an excuse for his or her agenda their integrity becomes questionable no matter what the person’s personal status happens to be. In pandering [...]]]></description>

Foraging 
Who will marry a dog? A Yoruba woman said. 
That very morning it was dicey. Straits start out the
Same way daily like putrescent corpses wallowing in
Excremental death of Stunned minds.
Their minds are frozen in the grasp of antediluvian Paws
Fearful of preceding ancestral, natural laws.
The fearful forage feverishly like
Inheritors since infancy -cursed.
Nobody cared to warn [...]]]></description>

Dear Frisker,
So why the frisking, my darling frisker?
You size me up as I approach your citadel;
Your mind cannot withstand my masculine;
You frisk me as rough as I have ever experienced
How could you then  question racist next door?
So why the frisking, my darling frisker?
Did you enjoy yourself while you were at it?
You were no better [...]]]></description>

You won&#8217;t hear of mermaids in folklore
Not to mention in naijan
Daily life. &#8220;It a western thing. It&#8217;s not for us,&#8221;
Said my naija nymph
Sweet as fleshly harvested honey. I smiled.
If only that were true?
&#8220;Naija isn&#8217;t impervious to
Evolution like the West it
Will break free of itself,&#8221; I
Said savouring sanity over delusional desires to
Be pure, secure, never ever [...]]]></description>
