The challenges for LGBT/feminist movements are huge right now in Scandinavia (and other parts of EU). To gather in solidarity movement that goes behind the fences of the borders of the EU-countries, and that build on alliances with different issues and groups is urgent and I want to talk around how I see the different movements working in Sweden to accomplish that. But also about troubling tendencies where discussions around sexuality and gender transgression gets limited or reduced into a fight for more space for very defined and limited identity groups. 

I will talk also on the problems around the focus on the “adding on-politics/letters” that we have had in the last 10 years or so, which seems to have rather commentated ideas in certain parts of society that these issues can be reduced to a matter of including very specific and easily defined and separated identity categories, instead of creating a real knowledge around how and what the norms look like based on sexuality and gender.
