Gender Fucks - a political statement
1972
"I remember there was one guy whom used to come, and when the GLF conference was on in Birmingham in 1974, it was the time of 'Gender Fucks' so often we would dress very strangely, it was not ambiguous, it was not drag and did not pretend to be. It was nothing for us to wear a fur coat and headscarf, have our fingernails painted but have a beard and big men's army boots. There were a lot of us at the conference and we must have looked so weird, there was one guy who liked knitting and throughout the whole of the GLF conference he sat knitting"
