Edition 66: Lesbian Feminism in Germany

Women's Liberation Radio News

Julia Beck took the reigns for this show and delivers both interviews and commentary from Germany to create our program on Lesbian Feminism in Germany. Thanks for tuning in. Today's program will be a bit longer than usual due to packing it with stellar feminist content. First up, hear Jenn Bilek's special report on the Gender Industry. Jenn appeals to listeners to become proactive in our feminism and speak out against the industry that medicalizes children and falsely claims biological sex is on a spectrum. Hear She! Hear She! The 11th Hour Blog has gone global! Thank you Jenn, for this wonderful exclusive report. Next, hear Emliann Lorenzen deliver the world news segment followed by a little snippet of Flying Lesbians doing their song “Wir Sind Die Homosexuellen Frauen” (1975), before gearing up to hear Julia's first interview with Manuela Kay, co-owner of L-Mag, Germany’s largest lesbian magazine with readers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Then hear a sampling of Zuckerklub doing their song “Die Zeit steht still” before hearing another interview Julia did with a German lesbian called Judith. Judith tells us about lesbian culture in the 80's and 90's in Berlin and how it compares to now. On to another snippet of song...this time from Nina Hagen doing “Auf'm Bahnhof Zoo" and then to the third and final interview segment Julia did with Inge Klein, an active member of KOFRA, the communication center for women in Munich, Germany. Inge speaks about abolitionist protests, the role of lesbians in organizing movements, as well as the website “ich hab nicht angezeigt” - (translation “I did not report”) a campaign to break the taboo of reporting sexual violence. Finally, don't miss Julia's report and commentary on German lesbian culture, community and herstory. It is so wonderful for WLRN to have a correspondent in Berlin! Julia! What a life, Sister, Our Sister! Thank you for sharing your studies and love of women's and lesbian culture with us. You are making lesbianism dangerous again! Raw!
