MIND YOUR FUCKING LANGUAGE
Laura Manners & Zoe Burt

'Feminists Laura Manners and Zoe Alexandria Paton are a filmmaker and fashion designer duo that have been working together to create a short video series discussing how fashion, the arts and our use of language can alter public attitudes towards toxic masculinity and intersectional feminism.

Queerly Beloved is proud to be a safe space for generating discussion about gender, sexuality, and marginalization and we welcome audience engagement in discussion, with no tolerance for hate speech.'

FEMALE MASCULINITY APPRECIATION SOCIETY

MY TRANS STORY : ALICE
