Hello everyone, welcome to our event, those on live stream.
You are welcome as well.
Thank you so much for joining us tonight.
It's a great pleasure for me to share this event and for us to have you all for this important conversation which is caused by the Department of Gender Studies and the Department of International History at our LSE.
A special welcome to our incredible panelists who will be sharing their valuable insights on trans lives,
activism and histories, Professor Susan Stryker and Dr.
Onigast.
I am Emra Karakush,
an LSE Fellow in Gender and Human Rights in the Department of Gender Studies and I am delighted to share this event alongside our wonderful speakers.
Sadly, our beloved Dr.
Esam Rodriguez will not be here with us tonight due to urgent travel but we will be sharing their article live stream so yeah,
we love you Esam.
Before introducing our speakers, I want to take a moment to reflect on the team of this gathering.
Many of us are witnessing,
living through the accelerating rise of far-right politics and anti-gender movements and their relentless attacks on marginalized communities across the world.
More powerful, more strategic, wielding extensive capital, new technologies and public support,
shaping public desires seeking to push us further to the margins, silence, dissent and criminalize resistance.
The already violent colonial politics of both liberal and authoritarian orders are being transformed into something even more brutal.
