Breaking the Mold
Much of the talk I'm seeing that is going on about the possible changes made to diagnosing GID in the DSM5(especially in children) are repeatedly expressing how these changes are playing right into the gender boxes of male and female. Implying that there is critically something amiss with male and female, there isnt. The "boxes" that we must dismantle isn't the boxes of male and female but the cage males and females have been shoved, dragged, beaten, shamed and raped into based on DOING rather than BEING!
Thousands of years of male and female roles reinforcing each other with each and every new generation (which may have began innocently enough due to different (different-not better) abilities of the majority for survival) are now believed by most to equal "natural". As in it is natural for women to want to dress in high heels and skirts, it is natural for men to have short hair and always wear pants, it is natural for girls to play with dolls, it is natural for boys to play with toy trucks or guns, natural so much so that whenever one deviates from what is "natural" there MUST be something wrong with THEM and they MUST be FIXED!
And the fact that there is this GID (created by a man who advocated consensual pedophilia no less) illustrates the systematic pathological need of society to utilize its hetero-patriarchal medical machine to "cure" the deviates who deviate under the ruse of "curing" rather than the truth of "normalizing". And the sad part is there are plenty of people who have let themselves be brainwashed into believing there is something wrong with them because they are not "natural" because they deviate and are all too ready willing and able to prove hetero-patriarchal society right by foaming at the fucking mouth on their fucking knees begging and pleading for the hetero-pat-medical machine to stamp and ap/prove them "normal"!
How can we argue that there is nothing wrong with male and female but the cage(roles) that tightly wraps 'round male and female like some gordian knot when there are plenty of people all too willing to prove society correct by adhering to society's male/female prescribed ideas by means of carving themselves up through drugs and body mutilation??
It is time those who naturally deviate or those who are tired of playing at "male and female" collude our efforts to dismantle society's snug cage before we're all of us, are pared into the mold.

The Future of Butch Genocide
DMS5-GID Here is the link (thanks to whoever sent me it) to the current draft for the next version of the DSM due out spring 2013. I MUST say a few words about what this current draft has listed as the criteria for diagnosing GID in young girls in 8 simple questions for parents!The question I would like answered is has someone channeled Freud from the fucking great beyond? The 21st century and we're revamping "penis envy"? These questions are primarily pathologizing DOING rather than BEING! Every Butch who has ever lived would when thinking back on her childhood feelings answer "very strong" to every single one of these questions and most run of the mill dykes would answer similarly! Hell most tomboys who grew up to be typical hetero women would answer similarly. I asked my straight niece these questions yesterday and based on her answers she would have been diagnosed with GID!WTF?
The original premise of "SRS" was about conforming individuals to the status quo. It was ignorantly believed those who believed they were the other sex were all homosexual, so switch the sex and automatically heterosexualize a whole group of (mostly)men and women, thereby "normalize" them and this is exactly what is going on still! This is a there is only ONE way to be a male and only ONE way to be a female and if for any reason one deviates from them they MUST be FIXED. Well I'm here to fucking tell ya, I aint broken! I may not be the woman you see on billboards and beer commercials but I am NO less female than any of those women.
A question I heard all through my childhood and still hear and asked of me in regards to Butches is "why do you/Butches dress like men"? My permanent reply? When they start making clothes for Butch women then I will proudly dress Butch! As a child this was a question I couldn't answer and a question no baby Butch today can answer because she doesnt know what Butch is! Clothes, toys, play etc that have been labeled "boy" by hetero-patriarchy are the closest things baby Butches have that matches some of their feelings/sense of fun/comfortability. It in no way shape or form indicates that they desire to be boys! Given the choice between boy/girl if most of what you are identifying with is closer to boy than girl, because you do not have any other options, what exactly are you suppose to do? This IS Freud's "penis envy" all over. Women didnt want a "penis" they wanted the whole world the "penis" had access to that they as women did not!
If we let this nonsense go through we are placing a death sentence on the heads of every baby Butch going forward! And that is NOT an exaggeration, its a fucking fact. Because if the "trans" disorder mainstreams accompanied by the criteria questions for GID, baby Butch girls will be trannified into societal conformity before they ever have a chance to be their natural subversive selves!
If you are Butch, love Butches, we need to have some serious organization to stop the hetero-patriarchal medical machine from causing our extinction.

Radical Lesbian Feminist-Femme Lesbians-Butch Lesbians-Please READ
I see these types of jobs posted to various "trans" email lists regularly and rarely to NEVER see them passed along to lesbian lists by lesbians. We cannot complain that Womens Studies have been taken over my Mtf men of ftMISOGYNYSTS because they are more committed and organized about getting "trans" people into these positions when academic lesbians are sitting on the their hands biting their fucking tongues.
I will post these jobs as I see them from here on out. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if there is a rad lez out there in a position to apply for this job, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do! Because as men and male-centric women gain these positions the same patriarchy that has been dictating "woman" to us for the last 5000 years will continue to do so!
