Transgender Equality and the Eradication of non gender Conformist

Fair use capped.

This from a proposed new bill in England.

Until the medical establishment catches up to common sense, the TG community will work to tout gender conformity whatever the price/cost in order to legitimate their own conformity or in most Mtf male cases (hetero) their own pathological fetishes.

Before I continue let me point out the greatest issue that lies behind all GL-BT bigotry is MISOGYNY! Until misogyny is truly addresses and eradicated even on a minimal level, they can pass all the GL-BT equality laws till the cows come home or jump over the moon or pigs fly, prejudice, hate and violence against GL-BT individuals will remain firmly intact.

Let me add largest contributor and abuser of misogyny, amply peppered with homophobia amongst the GL-BT is without question the TG community because it reinforces negative gender stereotypes which are particularly harmful to women, and "woman" being the masturbatory idea and goal of the primarily hetero male regime ruling over the TG community with cocks in hand or as some cases my be, on hand.

Now back to this "bill" and those like it that will likely follow. Regarding the "transgender equality" aspect where it is stated "transgender children will also be able to benefit from the new bullying protections in schools" and "the laws surrounding discrimination and incitement to hatred will be extended to cover ‘affiliation’ with the transgender community". Firstly gays and lesbians are the primary targets in school for harassment and specifically those that are non gender conformist, i.e. Butch girls/Queeie boys. In plain english what this means is if your child does not conform to a classifiable gender norm, in order for that child to appreciate the protection rights from such a bill your child must either conform through (transgenderism) or "affiliate" herself/himself with the TG community which in turn requires gender conformity.

So when your 5 y/o baby Butch daughter is bullied on the playground, if a bill like the above is in place at schools your baby Butch will likely be labeled at age FIVE as "transgendered"! So while her bullier may get an earful from the teacher, your daughter will be placed on a road to conformity insuring the delicate balance of female/male gender constructs is not upset regardless of the detriment to her.

Even parents that have the good common sense to challege this kind of ignorance by understanding their daughter merely being a different brand of girl, once the TG label is attached the child will be running from it for the rest of her school days. Given the fragility of child identity one can only imagine what such a sentence would do to a child/teen. If she wasnt suffering from the TG disorder she very well might by the time she's out of high school.

Every man/woman/child deserves equal rights and equal protections, but passing special bills the creation of which has more to do with legitimizing TGism than protection is certainly not how we want to go about it!

Michfest: Defending women only spaces

Fair use capped.

Women only spaces are quickly becoming relics of the past. Michfest has struggled for decades to remain one of the last stands for women only space, but even she has buckled in the last 10 years with the rise of "queer" theory, a detrimental lull in lesbian pride and the demise of radical lesbian feminism.

You've all read/heard radical lesbian feminist writing/discussing the multi-layered issues revolving around queer theory and lack of radical lesbian feminist politics that are hurting lesbians and women only spaces. But the truth is even if we were to removed these two components I believe lesbian pride alone would have preserved womens spaces and seen us through these difficult times.

Before queer theory reared its self delusional head, and radical lesbian feminism was a mere backdrop it was lesbian pride that gave rise to womens voices and created womens spaces, including Michfest. And it was lesbian pride that maintained womens spaces and promoted lesbian music, lesbian workshops, and lesbian trade which helped to fund women only spaces.

When I was 20, through circumstance I became privy to an underground radical lesbian feminist chapbook. I quickly got myself added to their list and received this chapbook once a month in a plain brown envelope with no return address showing. I had never seen or read anything like it, nor have I since really. Its pages were filled with radical lesbian ideas, lesbian politics, lesbian erotica, lesbian plays and shorts and lesbian essays written by every colour of lesbian under the sun, all of which filled me with a lesbian pride I didnt even know I possessed! A lesbian pride I had until a few years ago forgot or rather relinquished to adult pleasures, adult problems, adult living.

Until I personally felt the onslaught of malecentrisms tight grip upon my community, my Femme/Butch community my lesbian pride had been in a long slumber. Like rip van winkle before me when I awoke and actually looked around me, REALLY looked, I did not recognize the lesbian landscape that had once inspired me to pride. I take full responsibility for losing sight of my lesbian pride, for its going from a full on 20/20 focus, to periphery to letting it slide out of eyeshot altogether. And I feel the burden and the weight for having lost my lesbian pride everyday. Everyday when I look around my lesbian community and all her branching sub-communities and see them swarming with the buzz of patriarchy and the sting of misogyny it is MY skin that raises with the swell of poison, MY flesh that no balm can sooth, my blood cells racing to my heart envenomed!

I take that responsibility and with precision and precise calculation I shift my lesbian pride back into the forefront, back into focus. Because it is no longer merely a matter of my needing my lesbian pride, but my community needing my lesbian pride! My community needing me to drape her in cheese cloth protecting her from the bombilating interlopers hovering 'round her.

Pride and inspiration are infectious, if each of us who have lost our lesbian pride rediscovers her, her silky smell, her strong hands, her gliding touch, her slow whispering breaths in our ears, together we can rend our lesbian community from the lesbian bed death she has experienced for far too long and bring her once again to the climax of lesbian pride!
