    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.
