A fantastic article written by Morgan Page in response to the blatant transphobic remarks made by Danny Glenwright, editor of Xtra. Here’s the shitty article he wrote: http://www.xtra.ca/blog/national/post/2011/12/14/Response-to-a-strange-boycott.aspx
sterlinglovely asked: You're very welcome. I deeply appreciate your openness and your willingness to listen. As members of a radical community, if we plan on succeeding in making any sort of difference we need to strive to cultivate that openness - to being held accountable, to constructive criticism, and to think critically about things we say, even within the community itself, and knowing that we are not perfect...

As feminists, we tend to think a lot about male privilege (stuff like the fact that men are more likely to be bosses and CEOs and less likely to get raped), but not very much about female privilege. I stumbled across this, a list of female privileges:

How to tell if you're a shitty anti-racist ally.

Alie arrived at our 1st-grade classroom wearing a sweatshirt with a hood. I asked her to take off her hood, and she refused. I thought she was just being difficult and ignored it. After breakfast we got…
A Note About Cissexism...

manybothans:
I had a really great pride this year, but I was also troubled by comments I heard over the last week from a lot of people in both the mainstream and radical queer communities. I want to say a few things about cissexism, specifically towards trans women and other MTF spectrum folks.
