Why am i bothering, you won't post this.

As a point of information: Trans women attend the festival every years as workers and as attendees. So no one is keeping anyone out. This is a feminist way of approach; to say, please respect that this space is female focused. If you can get with that, fine.

We ALL live under patriarchy. And it fucks with ALL of us, men, women, children, all of us. And it comes down on all of our bodies in different ways. Hence, Michael Brown (patriarchy through racial hierarchies enforced through alleged criminality) vs. Mallory Loyola (bet you never even heard of her).

i fully do not understand what you are meaning in those final few sentences.

Are you intersex? Because you have never identified as such.

Kat. Seriously?

They are called intersex people, and ISNA has a great website to help you understand how being intersex has nothing to do with being trans. There are three sexes, male, female and intersex.

You know that part of why Michigan was created was so that bearded and butch women would still have space to be considered female? Because they aren't given that in the real world?

NOT ALL FEMALES HAVE OVARIES OR CAN BEAR CHILDREN. Only 97% of them. I am rounding down with that number.

That's funny, I'm a woman of color and see the validity of separate space because as a woman of color, I see exactly where my experiences overlap and DEPART from white women. The ability to be around women of color only has saved me. It helped me find me, even if those other WOC weren't black, weren't first…

There have been petitions issued to get NARAL and Planned Parenthood from speaking about vaginas or women in relation to abortion. With regard to PP, to stop using the phrase "Trust Women" in relationship to abortion services, which was the catchphrase of George Tiller, who was killed for providing late term…

You know that trans women attend every year and work on crew, right? So when you say "treated like shit," how do you think that his happening at festival? And are you saying that females aren't still treated like shit (because they are female) by male-only societies? Like most state governments, corporations, etc.?

Does "anything but stereotypically male" = female?

Well.

Not stupid. I think this video, by Jewish Voices for Peace, is one of the clearest things out there. It has a point of view and supports BDS, so I do not pretend that it is "unbiased."

RIGHT! Cause you know, women's rights are totally on point in Orthodox communities, amirite!

Or the Americans.

Wow, I seriously have not encountered this level of ignorance in a long time.

sure are terrible spellers, those manor born.

and remind me again why it isn't morally outrageous to have insurance cover penis pumps again, Keeeermy?
