Surprised to see this on Medium

Is this what we should expect now? Articles like this, telling us we’re terfs, suggesting that lesbians should try sex with transwomen. And normalizing it.

I feel like this situation, this normalization, has snuck up on me. I’m an old time feminist, but just learning about issues with transwomen in women’s spaces. I’ve been asleep at the wheel. (Actually not been asleep, I’ve been raising 3 kids, two with special needs, one of which passed away). I’m shocked to come back to women’s rights and see this has been going on. And it take a lot to shock me.

Oh sorry, I just vomited a little. I shouldn’t have had that extra churros.

docile, patient, hesitant, fragile Sounds like a donkey.

Docile, patient ... physically strong and the males are hung like a horse.

That is a really interesting point Monna.

From a different angle, Monna, the blog from 'The Lonely Transexual' that I came across and posted yesterday or the day before led me to some of the many photographs on social media of people after 'top surgery' (or double mastectomy).

I was very struck by one of the comments which said of one picture of a scarred and wounded post-op body that 'it reminds me of San Sebastian'.

Interesting to see that the reference point is gay iconography (with all that this implies about a male gaze).

They’re in a women’s retreat; they’ve gathered for a radical body-positive exercise. The exercise centers on the Yoni (the Tantric word for a woman’s genitalia), and will include nudity and self-exploration.

Well that's their first mistake. Be very wary of anyone who wants group nudity and self-exploration in public. They don't have your interests at heart.

There was a good thread about that a few months back, I remember.

I would have thought a body positive group for transwomen would make more sense.

Thank you for your insight about the St Sebastian image @lionheart - very interesting.

Your question ha really mad me think about this Monna.
