Hey Krystal, that was very well-argued. This person seems closed to the possibilities for, as you said, evolving and becoming different from this situation, and community is all about openness. If people are afraid, then it never becomes a community because afraid people just exclude and marginalize. So I think you have argued this admirably. And the sex-gender distinction is problematic for

tter for me, as it provoked my self to question whether I truly was indeed a masculine woman. This point brings me to the focus of this blog: addressing the sex vs. gender distinction in debates about the authenticity of the gendered sex of transgendered persons, particularly FTMs. <br /><br />The sex/gender distinction is parallel to the biology/identity distinction. For me, the search for

my beloved_patna :)<br /><br />Thank you for always being so supportive. I know u&#39;ll call me on my ish when I start taking the attention to my head and talkin&#39; crazy.<br /><br />And then there was this lovely gem:<br /><br />&quot;its all marginalized, oppressed...and liberation of being. for all.&quot;<br /><br />That there summarized what it means for me to be a bLaKtivist &lt;---

LaurynX,<br /><br />I think I get what your saying and yea I think that putting a particular emphasis on people you believe to be a problem, only makes your belief real - to you.<br /><br />But I think there are points to be made about this concept of a dying breed.<br /><br />1. It shouldnt even BE about a breed. Why are we trying to BREED a type of PERSON?<br /><br />2. I think there are finer

"The only way to end the essentialism that undergirds all of this is to drive a wedge between sex and gender"<br /><br />Rachel, I think you hit the nail on the head. I think then we have to ponder the question "How?" The gender vs. sex question sometimes comes off to non-academics as more jargony, academic-y nonsense, no matter how compelling it could be once you REALLY pay attention.<br /><br

Lately I've been thinking that this in-fighting/stigmatizing each other is a result of the way our culture defines everything in contrast to something else - you can't be a man or masculine unless you're not-woman, etc. I think we've really internalized this from childhood more than we realize. <br /><br />And the fact that feminists/womanists share a common cause with anyone on the

What conference was this for? ...That is if you dont mind me asking? I've heard discussions like this go round and round in gender activism surrounding trans*masculine folks, but does this:<BR/><BR/>"I thought this was about butch female/woman identity. We are a dying breed."<BR/><BR/>Really reflect reality and the everyday? I feel by focusing on those who do feel the desire to transition, they

i'm on the front line, linked with you seestah/patna :). i identify as a wombynist myself. there needs to be a greater understanding of what it means to be a wombynist among men and women. <BR/>like you said, its not just a woman-only ideology/practice/care/etc.<BR/>its all marginalized, oppressed...and liberation of being. for all.<BR/>i appreciate you. continue soul rebel! i hope to see you
