    badeline-disgust Been watching this banger video about compulsory heterosexuality n feminism, but

    lil bit of transphobia discussion

    somehow Princess Weekes brought up... the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival? No way, it's actually real?? It doesn't just exist as a bit in Nevada??? Ended in 2015?????

    Anyway the video has a couple statements from the Michigan Womyn's people in it, and it contains one of the more bizarre things I have ever seen: the term "trans womyn", spelt with a fucking "y". What does this even mean, relative to "womyn"? What's the difference? Who the literal fuck are these deeply unserious dorks??? wut

      There's a nice essay by Michelle Tea about her visiting Camp Trans, the counter-festival trans people were putting up against Michfest. Anyway, wait till you find out that the infamous "trans penis" incident that helped to galvanized the whole conflict occurred because a trans man who's also a cop took a shower – you couldn't write this in fiction.

        Ah yes Michelle Tea! Valencia! The Chelsea Whistle! As mentioned in and on the cover of the famous Orange Book Bad!!! It's ALL CONNECTED illuminati Lmao, though, a trans man cop showering.... no words for that one. Truly epic.
