The Transsexual Empire Strikes Back

Drag kings and queens, crossdressers, transsexuals, genderqueers! Transgender people of all kinds! Friends, family, partners, supporters!

Come march with us in the Mardi Gras parade. Come on, it's heaps of fun!

We're using the theme "The Transsexual Empire Strikes Back" because it's bold and pro-trans and funny - you don't actually have to be transsexual to join us (but if you hate transsexuals then you shouldn't be in this group).

A long time ago in a country far, far away, somebody wrote a book called "The Transsexual Empire: The Making of the She-Male" that said a lot of mean and silly things that we
don't agree with.

You could come as your most glamorous self, or wear a sci-fi costume, or come in drag (or even sci-fi drag?). The important thing is that you turn up, and if you turn up looking awesome, that's even better. We will have toy lightsabers for each participant that will look cool in the parade and give our group some visual cohesion. And this year we will also have a vehicle in the parade!

If you're coming to the parade and you don't live in Sydney, book your accommodation as soon as possible. Like, now. If you leave it too late, it might be hard to find a place.
