Hi.
This is a blog. About transsexuality, feminism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, GLBT stuff and etcetera (check my tags for more on that). This is also an angry blog.
You might see me as slightly antagonistic. Oh well. I incite because I am trying to push people into thinking, discussing and breaking out of the stagnant bullshit of privilege. Which needs a nice firm kick quite a bit. Sometimes to the head. If I need a nice firm kick too, make sure to distribute it because well, I'm not immune to privilege either. XD
Anonymous (account-less) commenting is allowed but please sign it with an alias or name. I reserve the right to delete useless trolling, hate language and attempts to out my name or out anyone else here.
Welcome to my space. Take your shoes off, stay a while. Use the fucking coasters.

Re: This is pretty much on target
Date: 2009-08-24 03:36 am (UTC)But, the changes that will need to take place are generational.
I would attempt the semi schism only because trans women deserve to be appreciated and honored for our distinct struggles, and feminism has been an abysmally poor steward of our lives.
Beyond that, I do think we need to develop our own stories, our own culture, and our own mode of thought wrt feminist thinking. Anything else will simply erase vital parts of us, and the strain of having to wear somebody else's cultural hand me downs to describe our lives is too much. I know it is for me, some other folks may be just hunky dory with using the colonizer's language to conduct their business and their lives.
But, I am more than a generation removed from you, so, I am not at all sure my way is the way to go. Most of these questions will end up for you to decide, rather than I. My experiences have dissuaded me from even seeking the experiences you describe out, since if I haven't had them in my decades of searching by now, I am unlikely to find them now.
The possibilities of my generation are going to be eclipsed by the ones for your, and that is a good and necessary thing.
