IN YOUR FACE From al715@yfn.ysu.eduThu Jul 20 08:13:52 1995 Date: Thu, 20 Jul 1995 02:18:55 -0400 **************************!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!************************ *----------------- In Your Face! Goes On-Line! ----------------* **************************!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!************************ In Your Face! is the national journal-of-record of "Political Activism Against Gender Oppression." It is an information service only: no adverts, no articles, no pictures, just a listing of what's goin' down in the current struggle against gender and sexuality-based oppression. We cover who's doing it, why they're doing it, how it turned out for them, and how to do it again next time, even deeper ;-) We cover trans-activism, drag-activism, intersexed-activism, leather-activism, les/gay activism, bi-activism, German Shepherd-activism (don't ask), mainstream feminism... If it's about political action against gender and sex-based oppression, we cover it. We *do* have a few space constraints (not to mention some truly butch-looking physical restraints courtesy of The Vaults). IYF gives preference to actions by emerging/marginalized movements, while for more matured movements (les/gay, feminism) we hit mostly the national high-notes. Each piece in IYF lists a contact person and what kinds of resources/help/support they need, in case you want to get involved. There's a growing movement across this country to contest a common cultural mechanism to mark, stabilize and regulate your expression of gender and sexuality, and we're going to cover how the struggle against it is being fought and won. IYF is published by a particularly outstanding collection of perverts: Riki Anne Wilchins, Nancy (Ninja) Nangeroni, JoAnn (Cyberbitch) Roberts and Lynn ("Is my skirt on straight?") Walker. By the way, 3 of these 4 have a *particularly* disgusting and unmentionable social disease, but I can't tell you which ones (hint: this does not take rocket scientist, let me tell you). Robin Goldstein, who is not a pervert and who thinks disease is BAD, manages IYF-ONLINE and can be reached at pervert@robin.vip.best.com WHO can submit: Anyone. Hey! we love people who submit to us! ;-) HOW to subscribe: Send a single line message saying "subscribe iyf-online" to majordomo@zoom.com WHERE to send news: Riki@Pipeline.COM WHEN is it published: IYF-Online will be put out to those on the subscription list once every 4-6 weeks (depending upon the news flow) or whenever we damn well feel like it. The paper copy is available free to any publication which will distribute it as in insert (we guarantee lots of readers insert it), and comes out twice a year (this is either bi-annually or poly-monthly, I can never remember out which). So if your own *fave* bi, femme, leather, intersexed, drag, CD, transexual, S/M, feminist, lesbian, butch, gay or other magazine doesn't carry it, tell them to get hip and give us a holler. REPRINTS: It ain't copyrighted; pass it on, fax it, reprint it. That's what we're there for! COST: Are you paying attention here, or what? USE: Every issue will include a list of all current actions, background info, current status, resources each action needs, and a contact person in case something really gets to you and you want to get your rear in gear. ;-) COST: Hey! We already covered this one. Look, if you *really* want to, you can send JoAnn Roberts money, but honestly, how many gold leather blouses can one NetGrrrrl own? Send sex instead. Send that to Riki or Nancy, though... ROBIN'S PITCH: If you have subscribed to IYF-ONLINE you may also wish to join the Transexual Menace Mailing List. The Transexual Menace Mailing List is a closed / non-moderated list (available in both regular and digest forms) which has been set up for the express purpose of provide a common space to learn about, partake in and discuss the gender non-discrimination and education programs of the Menace.
