A-Infos (en) France, UCL AL #345 - Antipatriarcat, Alice Vaude (OST): «Anticapitalism is necessary for trans crimes» (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

The Trans Solidarity Organization (OST) is a national trans associative 
organization that supports self-support and claims. One of two national 
secretaries, Alice Vaude, agreed to an interview with Alternative 
Libertaire. ---- Libertarian alternatives: Where does the OST come from? 
Comment and pourquoi Are you nationalized? ----- Alice Vaude: For the 
first time, there's certainly something to do to see what you've come to 
Tours. Nowadays it is uniquely a self-support association, more than 
ever, and there is this duality that we represent and that we represent 
every day.

There is a point where the anti-trans attacks increase: the 
conservatives and the réactionnaires, like the Ypomoni assos or the 
Observatoire de la petite sirène, lead to incessant lobbying and 
political attacks. La France sui la voie du Royaume-Uni où les réac' 
mènent des attaques legislatives contre les trans au Parlement: ça 
arrive en France, où il n'y aujourd'hui pas de voix trans portée à 
l'échelle nationale.

Cette voix, on pense qu'elle doit exister et, pour ça, qu'il faut une 
nationale associatione. Another need is to have a tool to place 
self-support in place, to find a local organization that is well suited 
to joining a national organisation. This also allows you to dialogue and 
get in touch with other social movement organizations (feminists, trade 
unions, antiracists, antivalidists...).

Now it has been launched on a national extension tout de suite, on the 
other hand it has established democratic bases and stable functions in 
Tours before creating other local sections, like in Nîmes. Today, with 
five sections, there is a good function within the routine of the 
sections and the political menée nationalement.

Those relations l'OST entretient avec le monde associatif trans?

The trans association is très dispersed, with 3 many contacts following 
the death of the Fédération Trans Inter. The summary is concentrated on 
the autosupport. The four-year work for the movement ensemble is 
necessary, the presence of older militants is also important. De fait on 
labor et on construit ensemble, comme à l'ExisTransInter.

In the future, the faudrait réussir in so much that movement trans to 
build a relationship of strength, and for ça, the evening interesting to 
avoir a space to put together of forces. On this basis only the will to 
bring about trans people, noting the conditions that transit brings.

Those are the old oppressions for trans people in the world of work and 
how do you comment on the fights?

The immense majorité of trans people is of précaires travailleurs 
travailleuses car les parcours de transitions mènent à des pressures 
dans les entreprises, à la placardisation et au harcèlement. Cela 
débouche souvent sur une sortie du worlde du travail salarié et à 
l'isolement, cercle vicieux bouclé par des discriminations à l'embauche. 
This phenomène est d'autant plus vrai pour les femmes immigrées, qui, 
exclues du travail salarié, sont poussées vers la prostitution.

There is no question of a pattern dependent on those transphobic patrons 
who are more likely to suffer from the consequences of the capitalist 
and patriarchal system. Consequently, one of our roles is to gain a 
class conscience among workers and workers who are trans cared on in 
order to improve our conditions of life so much so that they are not 
able to improve all cells and all the workers.

In this sense we invite all trans people to be syndicated, to join 
political revolutionary organisations. In addition to this, our avons 
can love a job in addition to certain syndicates, departmental and 
regional unions in order to be able to les armies face transphobia in 
the world of work. I work to particularly bring these fruits with health 
syndicates. On the whole, there is a relationship between the syndical 
movement and the trans movement, to find out more about discussions and 
formation.

Anti-capitalism is necessary for trans struggles, self-support is 
essential but the s'agi d'un soin palliatif and the faut lutter aux 
racines du système capitaliste, patriarchal, imperialiste et raciste. 
But the reverse is equally true: the political conflict is not enough.

Since you can understand that the OST has a revolutionary perspective, 
is it the case?

The OST is a mass organisation, aimed at regrouping all trans people who 
are ideologically courants. It hides in us the path of revolutionary 
political lines, Marxists, anti-imperialists, radical feminists. On 
recruit large on the basis of the entrance and on these forms to avoir 
political perspectives for and for trans people.

And indeed we have many critiques of bourgeois and reformist politicians 
who have been brought to the table by trans people. The promises are not 
tenuous and when the pro-trans legislation is passed, the associations 
are not consulted and the recommendations are ignored. While certain 
advice about how health is interesting to deal with, representation in 
the powerhouse of bourgeois democracy is not an object.

Are those your off-road activities?

The sections of the OST contain stays to care for trans people, and to 
accompany them as well as to create a link between these things that are 
often isolated. The sections are equally invested in social issues and 
participate in building them. Pendant to the reform of the portraits 
present on tours in many of the OST, and furthermore we summarize all 
the manifestations in the Palestinian people.

Once this work is done, we try to build some local transports. For 
example, towards Lille, we advocate to create a large anti-fascist front 
(and including with the UCL) to react to the extreme right here spread 
of anti-trans tracts.

There is a date to react to the massive transphobic offensive that is 
underway, October 12, 2024, which invites us to have a strong political 
and syndicate presence on the ExisTransInter brand to establish a strong 
relationship with the mountain. du front médiatique et institutionnel 
anti-trans en France.
