So close to giving up on feminism…
I used to be so committed to feminism but now I seem to be becoming yet another trans* person who can’t bring hirself to have anything to do with it. I’m fed up with going to feminist events where trans* people are either deliberately excluded or just assumed not to exist.
And I’m fed up with now being/feeling excluded from attending feminist/women’s groups and events because I came out as genderqueer a year or so ago. Because obviously no longer identifying myself as a woman means that I’m immune from experincing sexism from people who perceive and treat me as being a woman… And clearly non-binary gendered people don’t experience gender descrimination since that’s something only women experience… </sarcasm>
Manchester Feminist Network exclude transwomen from 'surviving sexual abuse' workshop. →
Manchester Feminist Network are organising their annual Women UpNorth event and have decided to exclude transwomen from some of their workshops. They have said they will not announce these in advance, but that transwomen will be turned away on the door (they must have those trans* sensors) and that they will definitely be excluded from the survivors support group.
Why won't pagans accept trans women? →
This is from last year but it’s obviously still relevant.
Obviously there are bigots in paganism, but I really disagree with how the article portrays this as a belief held by all pagans rather than some. And is talking about an exclusionary ritual of Dianic Wicca, rather than paganism as a whole.
You Know You’re Trans* When: #2018 You want to go on HRT because you’re too masculine for anyone to mistake you for anything but a boy. You want a more feminine body. Once you’ve done it, you just want to bind so that when people look at you they won’t be able to tell if you’re male or female, which is great, because you’re neither.
352) I’ll never be able to explain how much being misgendered hurts me. I’ll never be able to get you to stop using words that make me uncomfortable or seeing me in a way that makes me depressed. If I tried, the best possible outcome would be you seeing me as a silly, narcissistic kid. The worst would involve the slurs and dehumanizing language you use for the other trans* people you know. I’m not going to try.
That’s the reason I moved out of my parents. It just gets too much when it’s constant.
359) I’m not exactly cisgendered, but not trans or agendered either; and it makes me feel awful when I want to get a binder. I feel like people will judge me for not being trans but wanting to bind, and that means I just put it off even further until I realize how much I have a general dislike for my own body.
If you’d feel more comfortable binding then that’s all the justification you need to get a binder. Don’t let labels or fear of other people’s judgements stop you from being happy.
FACT: All queers, when consuming tea, begin to slightly glow rainbow. This is only visible by other queers.
FACT: Where most people feel gender, agender people instead feel fuzzy, androgynous kittens.
I hate the word homophobia.
It is not a phobia.
You are not scared.
You are just an asshole.

Well, bad people do tend to do bad things.
You Know You’re Trans* When: #2345 You want to have an orgasm, but can’t because your genitals give you too much dysphoria right now.
This is so annoying (and frustrating!)
