Upcoming local queer and lesbian events in Toronto
Below is our listing of local lesbian events in Toronto for March. These Toronto queer women events have something for everyone, and are updated on a regular basis by someone who lives in Toronto.
"Sex Work is Real Work", is a workshop delivered by Kara Gillies
and Jen La Fauci Gordon from Maggie's: The Toronto Sex Workers Action
Project. Why is decriminalizing sex work integral to human and labour
rights? Did you know Ontario sex workers have taken a lead on
challenging discriminatory laws in Canada? This workshop will also
explore current issues facing the diversity of sex workers, including
how some feminist movements have further stigmatized sex workers and
how we can create sex worker positive spaces in student organizing.
Maggie's is an organization run for and by sex workers. Their mission
is to assist sex workers in their efforts to live and work with safety
and dignity. They are founded on the belief that in order to improve
their circumstances, sex workers must control their own lives and
destinies.
The workshop will be from 6pm to 8pm on Tuesday March 2, 2010 at the
Centre for Women and Trans People at U of T. Light meal will be provided.
Wheelchair accessible via Bancroft Avenue.
For more details, please contact Margaret at
staff.womenscentre@utoronto.ca or call 416 978 8201.

International Women's Day 2010.
With the intention to create a space for dialogue around access to education, International Women’s Day is being celebrated at York University for 2010. How do systems of power, such as racism, colonialism, poverty, etc. create barriers to education? How can alternative learning through methods or content be healing and a challenge to the mainstream? Accessible workshops, geared especially at young women and girls, will be held throughout the day. Join us at the York University Student Centre on Monday, March 8, 2010 for speakers, amazing workshops, performances and free food!
ALL are welcome – community members, YorkU students, staff and faculty. We are particularly excited about having high school girls from the North York community attend the day’s events!
Workshop topics include: alternative media, Wen Do, Indigenous solidarity, gender and race through the art of plays, anti-oppression, a men's discussion group, popular theater, digital story-telling and more! All workshops will be focused on celebrating women and girls, and promise to be fun! Panel featuring Jessica Yee, Carl James and No One Is Illegal!

The Shelter | Sanctuary | Status Campaign invites shelter workers, residents, managers, counselors and anti-violence against women advocates and activists to attend an urgent community meeting on March 8th.
It has come to our attention, that the Canada Border Services Agency invaded a shelter for women - on February 27, looking to track down Jane, a single mom and survivor of violence from Ghana.
Shelter workers, residents and anti-violence against women advocates will be joined by women from Toronto Rape Crisis Centre, Sistering, METRAC –Metropolitan Action Committee Against Violence Against Women and Children and many other women’s organizations demand that Canada Borders Service Agency immediately stop visiting or waiting outside shelters or organizations that provide services to women; that women fleeing domestic abuse and violence be given status immediately and a full and
inclusive regularization program be implemented.
For more info phone: 647.836.8781 or email shelter.sanctuary.status@gmail.com
Organized by the Shelter|Sanctuary|Status Coalition, a growing movement of over 120 anti-Violence Against Women organizations that are working to create safe spaces for all women, regardless of immigration status - http://toronto.nooneisillegal.org/sss
Join Chelsey Lichtawoman of The Fat Femme Mafia in an interactive
workshop that will explore new ways of celebrating our bodies just as
they are. We will deconstruct why the media wants us all to look like
Paris Hilton, and discuss how to create and maintain body positivity in
the face of the all-consuming diet industry. The workshop will also
examine myths and stereotypes around health, learning to create our own
media, and will also feature a viewing of the short documentary Rubb My
Chubb (Alexis Mitchell 2007) that was made about The Fat Femme Mafia
that has screened in festivals across the world.
Bio: Chelsey Lichtawoman is the co-founder of the fat activist and
performance troupe The Fat Femme Mafia and has been touring and
performing across Canada for years.. She was also the host and curator
of Granny Boots, the weekly radical queer performance night at the
Gladstone Hotel. Chelsey recently had her first photography show
entitled All About Her: versions of the woman exposed, which showcased
her photos of Toronto queers. She can be reached at

This event is intended to educate and raise awareness about the gendered effects of climate change and how women are disproportionately affected by climate change. This conference will promote dialogue between students, faculty, and staff at the university, as well as activists, grassroots organizations, and the community-at-large about women's realities, especially those in the global South, as they cope with climate change. This event is crucial because it adds to the mainstream debates and discourses about environmental justice and equity. No Climate Justice Without Gender Justice springs out of the need to respond to the failures of the Copenhagen Conference to adequately address how women and children have been most adversely affected by climate change.
This event will contextualize women's realities and also discuss some of the ways in which women's experiences offer possible clues to strategies that could mitigate the effects of climate change. No Climate Justice Without Gender Justice arises out of the need to reflect on the absence of a substantive engagement with gender and climate change at Copenhagen. While the discourse around climate change adaptation and mitigation is both urgent and needed, women's voices are missing at many
levels, from policy objectives to funding channels to engaging women at the grassroots. Within this broader context, there are numerous issues, such as food security, health systems, migration issues that have specific implications for women and men – which are yet to be articulated and understood. This event will express these concerns, raise awareness, educate, and promote agency as it suggests ways to mitigate the effects of climate change and the disproportionate consequences felt by women. In addition to the above, we also hope that participants will leave the event having a nuanced understanding of current climate change discourses and what can be done to alleviate and reverse its effects.
The event will include a film screening of Organizing for Survival: Grassroots Women of the Flood.
Professor Alissa Trotz, grassroots women's organizer Nidhi Tandon, Dr. Erich Vogt of American University and George Washington University, and representatives from Oxfam and the Toronto Haiti Action Committee will be speaking at this conference.
Refreshments will be provided. In order to cater for certain dietary preferences, vegan, vegetarian, and Halal options will be offered to those in attendance.
SOCIAL TO FOLLOW AT THE REGAL BEAGLE FROM 8:30pm-2am!
The Trans Inclusion Group hosts a FREE screening of "All About My Mother” – Thursday Mar.11th 6pm.
Film Overview:
About My Mother (Todo sobre mi madre) is a 1999 Spanish drama film directed by Pedro Almodóvar. The screenplay deals with complex issues such as AIDS, trans lives, sex work, family, faith, and existentialism.
Spoiler Alert:
"A Greek saying states that only women who have washed their eyes with tears can see clearly. This saying does not hold true for Manuela. The night a car ran over her son Esteban, Manuela cried until her eyes ran completely dry. Far from seeing clearly, the present and the future become mixed up in darkness.
That same night, while waiting in the hospital, she reads the last lines written by her son in a notebook that he always kept by his side. 'This morning I looked through my mother's bedroom until I found a stack of photographs. All of them were cut in half. My father, I suppose. I have the impression that my life is missing that same half. I want to meet him, I don't care who he is, or how he treated my mother. No one can take that right away from me.'
She never told Esteban who he was, "your father died long before you were born" was all she ever told him. In memory of her son, Manuela leaves Madrid and goes to Barcelona in search of his father. She wants to tell him that their son's last written words were directed to him, even though he never knew his father. But first she has to tell him that, when she abandoned him eighteen years ago, she was pregnant, they had a son, and he has just died.
She must also tell him that she named their son Esteban, like his biological father, before he changed his name to Lola. Lola the Pioneer.
Manuela goes to Barcelona in search of Lola, her son's father.
The search for a man with that name cannot be simple. And indeed it isn't.
Lives becomes entwined. When do entwinements become relationships? And what kind of relationships?
dir: Pedro Almodóvar
rated: R (for sexuality including strong sexual dialogue, language, and some drug content)

join us for a talk with Canada's foremost expert on hip hop culture: Dalton
Higgins
Why have women's stories become obscure, rarely mentioned footnotes in rap
lore? And why do a few select rap temptresses get all the glory? Is hip hop
the last bastion of heterosexuality in the music industry? And does LGBT
living exist on a separate island from hip hop?
Hip hop culture journalist Dalton Higgins explores these and other
questions, taking his analysis beyond North American parameters to consider
the social and political uses of hip hop around the globe.
Featuring an a cappella performance by local female hip hop artist.

AZARI & III
Moments in love, soft lights of the metro night. The dream and the illusion. In the city concrete dissolves to dust, metal to rust, and from the empty darkness...
So Slack's has a reputation of having some bar brawls, but even though there hasn't been a fight in here since the straight dude tried to get Kris our manager into a three-some in 2007, we have decided to bring our own brand of BAR FIGHTS this weekend at Slack's.
On Saturday night it is a CAT FIGHT, with two of Toronto's hottest female turntabilists DJ Ychuck going HEAD TO HEAD with DJ Chiclet. They'll be scratching it out on the main stage. Trust me, it will be like nothing you have seen before. DJ Ychuck will be on the decks the whole night spinning Urban Party Jams and Hip Hop.
No cover before midnight and free coat check all weekend long.
DON'T MISS THE CRYSTAL KAGE FROM 6-9 PM.
PWYC and $3 drinks all day!!
Followed by Karaoke with Foofer @ 10pm. FANTASTIC!!
Here is what they are saying about Crystal Kage:
Influenced by Sheryl Crow, Janis Joplin, Slash & Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Crystal Kage is an engaging rock/blues/folk-rock four piece from London, Ontario with heart-stopping vocals and a catchy foot tapping guitar riffs.
Originally started as a duo in August 2008 with Crystal Curran as the lead vocals & rhythm guitarist with a powerful & passionate voice and enthusiastic, engaging stage presents and Kory Adcock (aka Kage) as the lead guitarist playing both acoustic & electric guitar with remarkable shredding speed & quick finger changes.
Evolving into a powerful four-piece in October 2009 with Ryan Cruickshank on bass creating a powerful bottom end and smooth back beat and Darren Fleury on drums adding strong fills and rhythm, The Crystal Kage has head in a new direction, upping the energy and intensity in their music and performances.
Stay tuned for their Live Album, planned to be released in June 2010 and their upcoming
2nd Album "Not Waiting For Tomorrow", planned to be released in December 2010.
"The Joy of Gender", a provocative and gorgeous slide show, identifies trans experience as an ordinary, if ‘unusual’, aspect of human diversity. Chapters include: "Disrupting gender: the Opposite Sex is Neither." "Policing Gender: who does it?" "Trans communities here and now: we're fabulous, get used to us!" Thought-provoking experiential exercises, film clips and plenty of time for Q&A make for a lively and interactive workshop readily adaptable for a broad range of audiences from trans activists and academics to cisgendered people seeking answers to the most basic questions.
The event will also be an opportunity to learn about – and complicate – the current politics around the DSM (The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) and the University’s problematic ties. Let’s educate, activate and mobilize around the issues together!
Open community discussion will follow.
All welcome. Allies welcome.
Bio.
Hershel Russell is an older, white, trans man, experienced as psychotherapist, educator and activist. He has been counselling trans people and their families since 1995, has worked in a range of capacities with Sherbourne Health Centre from its inception and has critiqued the practises of the Gender Identity Clinics at CAMH for many years, both within CAMH and at a range of public venues from UofT to TVO. Current activism includes work developing proposals for Province-wide trans health care and trans specific health-care promotion. He is keen to see and join more local activism around the upcoming DSM_V. He loves presenting to a range of audiences, both workshops offered through larger agencies, (CAMH, CMHA, CAS, RHO) and his own workshops " The Joy of Gender: Trans 101" and "Homophobia is so gay: LGBT 101" . As an educator he believes that learning is always an active process, that respect for everyone’s dignity is key and that shared laughter can accomplish much! Participants often say that it feels easy in his workshops to raise difficult or awkward questions and to discuss them with complexity.
For more info check out this interview with Hershel in dialogue with Dr. Kenneth Zucker:
