Casual meet-ups (excluding cis-men) provide a safe space for exchanging views about life, experiences at university and addressing lesbian, gender\/queer, trans and intersex issues. The office regularly organizes networking meetings, communal breakfasts and various events relating to queer topics (for instance movie nights). The pink office also has a queer feminist library that you can check out (most books are in German though).<\/p>\n<pre><strong>Where?<\/strong> AStA FU Berlin, Otto-von-Simson-Str. 23, 14195 Berlin\n<strong>Consulting Hours?<\/strong> Tue 4pm - 5pm, Thurs 2pm - 3pm\n<strong>Email:<\/strong> lesbitransintera (at) astafu.de<\/pre>\n<h6>FYI: The main reason for the separation of the two offices is to make sure to provide a save space for every one, presuming that each community has different thematic focuses. Although the offices are separated, both clearly speak out against any form of heteronormativity and transphobia\/homophobia. They both demand visibility of intersexual and genderqueer people, gay, lesbians and trans people in all areas of life, including life at the university, of course.<\/h6>\n<p>If you would like to get involved or just stop by for coffee, feel very free to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The official voice for all student affairs at Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin is the AStA, which stands for Allgemeiner Studierendenausschuss (General Student\u2019s Committee).
