A...How did I miss this post the first time around?! Ah, I was in Florida. That's why. At any rate, I was glad to come back and find it, prompted by your comment on MY post. I would think that an experience with discrimination would soften people to the discrimination that affects others. Interesting that in this case, that apparently doesn't follow.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-87432567540244438302014-08-07T00:06:18.446-04:002014-08-07T00:06:18.446-04:00You know, I don't care what people want to do ...You know, I don't care what people want to do with their bodies. I don't care if their pierce, tattoo, change sex, or do anything. It's none of my business what others do. I wish that the world would be more tolerant of those who aren't the "norm" whatever that is.

It's not balanced, it's not about free speech; it's an editorial based on pseudo-science. I was lucky enough to read Helen Boyd's commentary and then linked to Julia Serrano's letter to the Times first so my blood pressure didn't go as high as it might have. The MichFest bigotry has been going on for years, but the idea that new and younger TERFs have picked up that banner is just scary. Besides, it amounts to defining people by their genitalia (or genitalia they don't have any more, even) - which you know damned well they wouldn't stand for as regards themselves. Damn fool stupid hypocrites.

This is just a simple fact, right?<br />And why can't we just all get along? My compassionate heart tells me that those women were incredibly hurt by men. My less-compassionate heart feels much the same as you do about spending that much time with radfems. <br /><br />Anonymous- Well, he said they were sharks and I'm going to go with that. They look no more like dolphins than they do sharks or flattened birds. So. Whatever.

Why? Not why am I exhausted, but why does everything have to be made so fucking hard? Can't we all just get along? <br /><br />Good lord. The whole notion of spending a period of time with hundreds and hundreds of women in a commune makes me want to stick ice-picks through my eyeballs, for starters.
