Moving Trans History Forward: https://www.uvic.ca/mthf Aino Pihlak "Putting the Femme in Feminist" - Trans Feminism & the 'Male Lesbian' in the American Second Wave Thursday, May 22, 2025 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM PDT Cornett A317 & Online A slur, a joke, or a case of mistaken identity? Surely the ‘male lesbian’ is one of these. Yet this term’s actual herstory is far more interesting. Throughout American feminism’s Second Wave, potentially thousands of trans femmes identified this way in North America and Europe. The lesbian feminism articulated by them in the 1970s constitutes one of the most enduring and intellectually significant subsets of lesbian feminism to come out of the Second Wave. Join trans femme historian Aino Pihlak for her talk about the trans lesbian feminism first developed by Sally Douglas in 1970 and then popularized through the Salmacis Society. The herstory of Salmacis, Sally Douglas, and the “male lesbian,” disrupts dominant ideas of the supposed antagonisms between “trans” and “lesbian” in the 1970s. Indeed, the distinctly trans femme led, sex-positive, lesbian femme-inism of the organisation can reanimate lesbian feminism today. Aino Pihlak is a trans woman and emerging social historian who studies past articulations of trans feminine existence. In addition to her interest in trans feminine porn studies, she is a scholar of twentieth-century, Anglophone, and overwhelmingly white, trans feminine subcultural periodical networks. She hopes her analyses of the complexities and messiness of past trans lives honours those who built the path she now walks on.
