By staring at them and pointing their dick at them while masturbating.

I've never eaten rabbit myself, and I don't know if I could, even though intellectually I understand it's no different than chicken, which I will eat. But I, too, feed rabbit based recipes to my cats. It's a great alternative protein for dogs and cats with food allergies. And a lot more sensible than a vegetarian…

I'm not mocking trans people, I'm mocking people who say stuff like this. And they exist: http://groupthink.jezebel.com/earlier-today-…

That they happen to be trans is tangential to the point that it's a laughable position, deserving of mockery.

Somewhat kind of off topic, but when I read a headline that says "I feel xyz and you should/shouldn't too" I automatically shut off and can no longer read the article without a bias against it. I feel like I'm being told I need help coming to my own conclusions because I'm obviously missing some insight that you need…

Just a few things. I agree with the point of this post. It reminds me of my feelings about gay inclusion in the Boy Scouts; if they are so unfriendly to you, why the fuck would you want to hang out with them? Start your own better thing. There needs to be a gender neutral scouts.

Mmm, not for the KKK, no, that's silly. I completely respect it's a real medical condition. But being born male gives you a different life experience than being born female. That's fine! The trans experience is valuable and should be shared. But at a different event. This is for the people who live as female and who…

I don't know, your replies to other readers were a little dismissive.

That's a good point. But that's a relatively new and rare phenomenon. I guess my point is, if you are oppressed or not, you don't get access to everything. It's just life. There are other events and if someone has lived all their life as female, maybe it's appropriate, but even if you transitioned in your teen…

How about Mexican Americans trying to attend an event for African Americans? That's a more accurate analogy. Cis women are still deeply oppressed, doesn't discount trans oppression, but not every event needs to include everyone.

Women are still oppressed, we are still entitled to events just for women. Male privilege applies in some ways and mostly doesn't to mtf folks. The point is, just because they transitioned, does not mean they should be included in the gender binary. They are different. It's just a separate category - male-bodied…

I don't think it's special, but being biologically female often lends itself to being more easily recognizable as such and that, right there, invites a unique kind of attention. From day 1, you are treated as less, as something to be visually valued. I'm not trans, but some acquaintances of mine are. I respect who…

I was looking forward to an interesting/refreshing take on this, hopefully including MWF's history and the history of women-only spaces and their inceptions. I was expecting to read a bit about identity development in both sexual minority women and trans women and how this relates to women-only spaces. Instead, I read…

I used to identify as a radical feminist and I honestly fall somewhere in between the 2nd and 3rd wave, personally. (2 and a half wave feminist?) I think inclusion is overall a good thing for everyone, but at the same time, I don't think that abrasively demanding that an event that has been designed for…

That's all well and good. Feel free to elaborate on that point if you feel it is not clear to readers of this piece. I'm a woman-born-woman or cis gender woman (though I dislike both of those terms for various reasons) so it's not entirely appropriate for me to explain the trans side of the story. But the original…

Right, and we're getting the trans perspective in the piece above. I was trying to explain to the cis hetero dude up there why it's really not as simple as he's painting it and why radical feminists are causing a "fuss." It's not really a fuss so much as it is a long-standing, massive conflict of thought.

Many radical feminists see trans women as yet another example of people with dicks demanding access to their spaces, telling them they know their shit better than they do, dismissing their feelings and thoughts, and then explaining to them how to feminism.

What you're missing is that trans feminists and intersectional feminist are casually tossing out DECADES of feminist thought about sex and gender. Many radical feminists see trans women as yet another example of people with dicks demanding access to their spaces, telling them they know their shit better than they do,…

Your first paragraph is the funniest fucking thing I've seen posted on the internet in a long time. Thanks for the laugh Kat. The tone of certainty with which you wrote that anyone gives a fuck about this random music festival while the rest of the world implodes is just......awe-inspiring in its frivolity. …

I'm not talking about the individual. Is the issue here that male-bodied people who transitioned in to a female life want access to events solely meant for female-bodied people who chose to live life as female? Because that's silly. Guess what? Having male anatomy at birth gives you a profoundly different set of…

This comes across less like some deep and meaningful social experiment and more like a bitter dude trying to punish women for not respecting his special snowflakeness. 'Oh, you failed to notice what a bright and shining and unique soul I am in a sea of less fascinating men? Let me waste your time and pretend that it…
