recursiveparadoxSo, I'm banging this all together before I rush off to work. I'm walking today so I need to head out early.
This is a journal. A very specific, trans, feminism, lesbian, etc related journal. The details will be gritty and real. Like the new batman movies. Okay, I'm kidding. But I will be going into a little bit of TMI at certain points.
I'll probably talk about things that people don't like to hear about. Transsexuality is a scary fucking thing for some people. Apparently gender is what they base their comprehension of the world on and us transcending those boundaries makes kittens die or something.
I try not to be too dismissive of those viewpoints. After all there's nothing wrong with feeling scared of us or worried or apprehensive. What I don't appreciate is when you try to kill me, or rape me, objectify me or disrespect me because you can't practice an iota of self control.
Maybe I expect too much. But I have a slight fear of black people, due to a lack of exposure. I don't call the cops on every black guy I see. Or avoid black people. I do my best to get over my fear and treat everyone right. So maybe my expectations aren't too high and you're (addressed to the problem people, not my more innocent readers) all lazy inconsiderate fucks.
Either way, there are words that need to be said. And not just about trans stuff either. About gender in general, about sexuality and about how everyone treats each other. I probably won't be merciful. But I'll be humorous and clever occasionally. So you can look forward to that. <3
Alright, time to run to work. Behold, Genderbitch blog is born.

People come into my (virtual) house with those thoughts, though... Not sure if I find it ethically all that fine.

Date: 2009-05-02 07:22 pm (UTC)It's like... Going a whole day without punching someone in the face. I'm not so sure it's reward-worthy behavior, even if you had to try really, really hard not to punch someone in the face. I mean, yeah, it's awesome that you didn't punch someone in the face, but billions of people manage to go about their day without punching people in the face, and they don't get cookies for it.
Similarly, there are enough people out there that don't freak the fuck out about trans people that, really, admitting that trans people freak you the fuck out "but I'm not gonna do anything about it"... I dunno, I just feel like they can just go away and come back when they're, y'know, not having terrible thoughts about their fellow human beings.
But that's me.
