Description

October 29 Toronto Members of LOOT held a special meeting to discuss a query from a transsexual women whether she would be allowed to enter the LOOT house to interview members for a university essay on lesbian politics. The person had been born male but had undergone surgery to become an anatomical female, and now identified as a lesbian. About thirty-five women attended the meeting, and the discussion aroused strong feelings. Although some support was expressed for the transsexual, in the end the vote was one in favour, four abstentions, and the remainder against the application.
