I'm replying to you, but also kind of to everyone in this thread that is missing the point dramatically basically due to a very simplistic way of looking at both feminism and the lgbt community. I'm not meaning to sound aggressive, but in an effort to be efficient, I'm going to number my points and my comment is going…

This isn't my story, because I'm a pussy and don't know how to get revenge. My brother, on the other hand...

Several years ago I was working in a sports bar and grill when a man and his teenage son were sat in my section. I greeted them and the man was nice enough but his son was a complete and total prick. The man ordered a beer and the son a cherry coke. If you have never worked in a restaurant before, most places this…

I was the newest arrival in the Hamptons. By all appearances, I'm a friendly and sophisticated "girl next door," but with a dark family history, I'm anything but what I seem. Seventeen years ago, my father was framed for a crime by neighbors he trusted, and sentenced to life. I never saw my father again, and spent my…

Overnight camp, 13 years old. I've recently gotten my first period, but haven't yet figured out those pesky tampons. My resourceful mother fills an empty expensive hair product container with lube so that I don't have to be embarrassed by a giant tub of KY in the bathroom next to my brand new tampons.

When I was about 9 or 10 I went to a Girl Scout camp over the summer. I became really good friends with one girl who had a stutter. There was another girl there who was a total mean girl, and would constantly bully me and the other girl names behind the adults backs. One day my group was canoeing, and due to a lack…

If you put an obscene amount of cheese on my sandwich, I'd probably assume you wanted to be BFFs for life.

I am not one to plan stuff like that. I'm pretty in the moment. At a club one night there was this absolute jerk pushing around my friends. He was awful. Well, I had a beer in my hand and he purposefully bumped into me. So...I did what any human would do. When he turned his back, I "stumbled" and dumped my entire beer…

I love all of these so much! I'm living entirely vicariously, because I've never enacted any spectacular revenge. Not because I'm a noble person, but because my mads only last like 10-15 minutes and then I'm "over" it. I just can't carry a grudge because it's too exhausting. I'd rather just go "ehhh" and move past it…

I was in AP Physics C, the calculus-based class, when I was a senior. I was awesome at physics. In our class we'd often present problems from the homework. Our teacher would go around the room and check our work, then assign students to write their work on a portable white board. The problem would then be presented to…

Once, I was playing a 6-person game of Risk. At the beginning of the game, some people discussed who they wanted to be allies with, while my strategy was a lot simpler: I advised everyone that the first person to attack me would be wiped off the face of the earth, at the expense of my own long term survival. I…

When I was 11, I went to a weekend Girl Scout camp where I shared a tent with 3 other "friends" from school. I was always a target and never quite fit in, so it didn't actually surprise me when I woke up the second morning to hear the other girls talking shit about me. "God, she's so weird, she's so stupid, her hair…

I can be kind of a prankster to douche frat boys so I have two stories from college.

When I was 18, just out of high school, I did a very short stint at a telemarketing job with a couple of friends. The guy who managed our group, J, was a couple of years older, and was dating a woman I'll refer to as A. I knew A a little through my friend M, who also worked there. A was cool, but had a reputation for…

These guys get catcalled once and then are informed that it was a part of project. Then they were given the opportunity to consent to being on camera or have their faces blurred. That is far more consideration than women get when they are harassed or have creepshots taken of them.

Thanks for your comment!

C can speak for himself, but here is my answer on why I think feminism needs to discuss issues which affect trans men:
