[Wamvan] Fwd: [CFRO programmers] Job Posting: Public Affairs Co-ordinator

[Natalie Hill]

Joanna - I'm quite sure this does not have anything to do with Rape Relief.
Also, the original email I sent was a job posting for Vancouver Co-op
Radio, which is an entirely different organization than Vancouver Media
Co-op (which published the article about intervening at the Rape Relief
event).

As Tami clarified with her follow up email, she is angered at the fact that
the F-Word Radio Show, *one* of Vancouver Co-op Radio's 70+ weekly
programs, did an interview with someone who may be interpreted as
trans-phobic (Sheila Jeffreys).

I would like to add that the interview with which she is taking offense was
a part of 2-hour long program about transgenderism and feminism, which also
included an interview with transgender activist Susan Stryker, who is the
Director at the Institute for LGBT Studies and Associate Professor in
Gender and Women’s Studies at the University of Arizona, as well as a
discussion on women-only spaces and trans inclusion in recreational sports
with Barb Besharat of The 519 Church Street Community
Centre<http://www.the519.org/programsservices/transprograms/healthytransactions>in
Toronto.

If anyone is interested in listening to the full program audio, rather than
just an excerpted interview with Jeffreys, they can do so at this
link<http://www.feminisms.org/4996/facing-our-fear-transgenderism-versus-radical-feminism/>
.

This is a personal grudge against one program and its hosts. I find it
highly offensive - possibly even slanderous? - to claim that Vancouver
Co-op Radio as an institution is transphobic and bigoted.

In answer you your question Joanna - "Is anyone else really sick of all
this hostility and hatred?" - yes, I am.

And as far as ideas on how to improve the level of dialogue in the
Vancouver feminist community, my answer would be for individuals to treat
each other with a modicum of respect, abide by safer space guidelines as
laid out clearly on this listserv (and anywhere else, for that matter) and
refrain from making inflammatory statements about any person or institution
that is by some degree connected to someone who may not hold the same
political views as them.

Just a thought.
