Emily is funny as hell! Great Interview!

I really learned something, just reading this interview. My favourite parts: “One of the things I’ve learned from my transsexual friends is how powerful and frightening the fear of being misgendered can be – it feels like a form of identity destruction, like a tiny part of us is being killed.” and “As I’ve grown [...]

Absolutely agree! Well said!

Congratulations! Hugs trough the interwebs from Germany. As Chloe I always appreciate your posts!

“After the initial shock and added layer of heartbreak, I began to sit in witness with what was happening to me. Along with the swelling of my breasts, the pain lodged beneath my ribcage, the acute change in my appetite, and the taut plumping one hand beneath my belly button, I began to feel whole [...]

the quote of “feminism is the radical notion that women are people” becomes a sentence to survive on after wathching this video.

I never thought i would hear somebody ever again telling women that women’s voting rights are damaging to their country. the rest is shit i’m kinda used to, but in terms of voting rights it’s the icing on the cake.

You pretty much said it all Lori! Thanks for putting my thoughts into words. I feel the exact same way. And to quote Rachel you really hit the nail right on the top with this: “I like the idea of loving myself enough to take care of myself, groom myself, and present my best [...]

This is so sweet Chloe! Thanks for your background story, i will be visiting my father this weekend. yay!

Thanks so much for posting this! Since I read an article in the german feminist/political magazine EMMA about a doctor who treats horribly traumatized women in a hospital in North Kivu/Congo who experiened rape, war and extensive killings in their villages, I was always interested to learn more about this excrutiating situation for women/ the [...]

WHOOOHOOO, I just LOVE her!
“We will get permission, because I can’t imagine those two senators who have put a hold on our museum have the stomach for war with the women of America.”
Well, I don’t think there is anything to add!

i didn’t know where to put it elsewhere, so here it goes: THANK YOU for transferring the archive step by step to the new site! now i can go back and read what you wrote in 2007 etc.

the video was almost shocking to me. this betrayal of deep trust and need of a father.

“But to bring it back. Part of me feels like this generational conflict is a perpetuation of internalized sexism and how mother’s and daughter’s treat each other within the context of patriarchy. The competitive spirit, the anger at younger women being too sexual, the jealousy of us being the new voices and not knowing what [...]
