The other day, I was swashbuckling it out with a group of tranz who were talking the usual un-informed shit about radical feminism/ feminists – eating children, colluding with the lizard overlord, the usual stuff. Your name came up in when one of them was banging on about “TERF”s and they said something about you and your “shenanigans” (I have to admit this made me laugh). This post sums up my response to their collective fuckwittery to in a far more eloquent and less sweary way than I could muster. Shall bookmark this for future use. Thanks!

My thesis in college was to be about what makes a radical feminist. This was before the trans movement. I never completed it partially because my advisor was male and the stories shared with me were not meant to be shared with men. But this list is pretty darn close to the idea of it.
I love the the words coming out of your mouths. This will be my 31st year working at Michfest and I hate what the Trans are doing to the community!
