Justine and Zoë, trans women anarchists who collaborate on the OccupyWallSt.org website and the @OccupyWallSt Twitter feed.
Two weeks ago, within hours of Gay City News publishing my piece "Occupy Wall Street's Tragic Lack of Gender Analysis," a group of trans women reached out to me. They have been an integral part of OWS since its inception and they wanted me to know it.
What follows is a distillation of hours of conversation with two of these women, Justine and Zoë, founding members of the "tranarchist" affinity group that helped jump-start a movement that has swept the nation and the world. Justine, a 26-year-old open source technology developer, and Zoë, a 32-year-old community and online activist, joined forces shortly after anti-consumerist magazine Adbusters' July 13 call for an occupation of Wall Street.
