Counseling

The Peer-Support is open to all queer (1) and questioning (2) people. We offer you confidential counseling for all your questions, fears, insecurities regarding your (possible) queerness (3). You can contact us if you need information, advice, or simply an open ear. We also offer support with writing mails, applications, or messages. If you are unsure whether the support is for you, feel free to contact us, as well.

(1) You decide whether you are queer or not. We use the term simply as a shorthand for ‘LSBTQIA+’ i.e. 'lesbian, gay, bisexual/biromantic, trans*, queer/questioning, inter*, asexual/aromantic, ...'.
(2) ‘Questioning’ means that you don’t know or are unsure whether you are queer/trans*/lesbian/… .
(3) We don't provide psychotherapeutic counseling ourselves, but we are happy to support you in looking for a psychotherapist.

Contakt

The counseling is possible in German and English, can take place in-person, or via (online) call, and is peer-to-peer if possible. Please tell us if you need anything to be able to partake in the counseling. If you already know what you want to talk about with us, you can write us this roughly beforehand. You can reach us via email to: ps-queerfem@astafu.de

Pinky

The Pinky, a queer feminist library and FLINTA* (4) safer-space and refuge in the loft of the AStA-Villa.  Borrowing books is free and after agreement also possible for endo-cis (5) men. The Pinky is primarily intended as a refuge for FLINTA* people!

You can come over to the Pinky at any time during the AStA opening hours. If the Pinky is not open, you can get the key in the AStA office on the ground floor. The Pinky is sadly not very accessible, since you need to clime several narrow flights of stairs to get there.

(4) 'FLINTA*' means that you are female, lesbian, inter*, nonbinary, trans*, and/or agender, or simply: not a endo-cis man.
(5) ‘Endo-cis’ means that you are not trans*, nonbinary, agender, inter*, or questioning.
