GUEST POST: You are not a feminist

Stop coopting the term “feminist.” If you privilege trans concerns over woman-born-women’s concerns, you are not a feminist.

GUEST POST: We Are All Non-Gendered

Many people who started out as stridently pro-gender and aggressive towards me specifically (I don’t take it personally, by […]

GUEST POST: A Woman with Turners Syndrome Discusses Feminism and Gender

By June42. You can read more of her on her blog. I have recently started getting involved with a radical feminist group, something I have been intending to do for a couple of years. Part of why I have wanted to get involved is that I have found feminist thought on a number of issues […]

GUEST POST: You don’t care about some girl…

You don’t care about some girl… You don’t care about some girl in the 80s who was raped a week before her 18th birthday. You don’t care about her being raped in the 90s.

GUEST POST: Rethinking Gender Abolition by Pogoniptrail
