Autumn, a fourteen-year old trans woman and feminist who lives in New Jersey is working on an anti-street harassment flier project and she agreed to answer a few questions about it.

Stop Street Harassment: What inspired you to create and post fliers about street harassment?

Autumn: While I was in New York, I saw a very impromptu flier rebuking street harassers and misogynists in general. I thought this was a very clever idea, and a very easy way to start voicing my opinion in an open forum. So, I took a few nights of making very minimalistic, blunt posters on a number of issues that feminism focuses on.

Stop Street Harassment: What messaging is on the fliers?

Autumn: I made multiple fliers, actually. In my first, I tried to give the reader a general summary of feminism, dispelling stereotypes of feminists and trying to assert what actual feminism means. The second one was exclusively against street-harassment, and the third is against slut-shaming. I purposefully tried to make them very minimalistic and bare, with only text and such, as I felt if I put too much graphic decoration in them, it would take away from the message.

Stop Street Harassment: Where are you posting them and what do you hope the outcome will be?

Autumn: Luckily I live adjacent to Manhattan, so one of these days I am going to print and copy about one hundred and spend a day posting them in the subway, bus terminals, traffic light poles, really anywhere they will be seen. I also plan on taking them to Slut-Walk. I have them in PDF format, and I invite anyone who wants to download and post them in their respective city as well – it can’t hurt! I’m not really trying to get people to become radical feminists, but rather I just want people to realize that street harassment and slut shaming are not acceptable things.

Stop Street Harassment: Anything else you want to add?

Autumn: I’ll be attending the Slut-Walk in New York in October, and if anyone has a Tumblr, mine is autumn-and-gomorrah.tumblr.com. Though it’s not exclusively a feminist-dedicated blog, probably ninety percent of my posts are about feminist topics or anarcha-feminism.
