Dear Editors,

I have long been wondering about how to work with your publication. I am a research consultant on feminist ethnographic studies with Shirkat Gah, a feminist organisation, an ngo, a resource centre, etc. We started some work here on queer studies or transgendered studies  beginning with workshops with the staff (50 people in Lahore office) exploring stereotypes of masculinity and femininty and how we relate to people who deviate from that, I have spoken at seminars and at consultative workshops on "masculinised women" both hetero and homo varieties thereof, on trans communities and sex workers finding representation in the national census, and a friend and colleague has also visually documented the Trans people and sex workers, for instance, in religious rituals like Ashura.

Although I worked as a journalist for a number of years, I can no longer fit expression into a thousand word declamation. So how to share work with you?
