Hey! I haven't had the energy to write for a little while, so I've fallen way
|
|
behind, but that doesn't mean that I haven't been reading, so I now have a huge
|
|
backlog of links. Given that still don't have the energy to write a full post
|
|
for each, I figure I'll just do a little round up here with a little blurb about
|
|
each so that a) I'm still writing but b) I'm not spending all day writing :o)
|
|
|
|
In no particular order...
|
|
|
|
* [d/sphoria] [1] (NSFW)- I loooove this, particularly as it relates to myself
|
|
in more than one way. There's the dysphoria aspect, of course, but the idea of
|
|
moving sex away from orgasm has been particularly important to both James and
|
|
myself over the last few months. It's been an interesting exploration, for
|
|
sure.
|
|
* [The Distress of the Privileged] [2] - This is a pretty interesting article on
|
|
just how privilege works and how there is distress on both sides of an issue
|
|
that involves such things. Notable especially with regards to some recent
|
|
conversations on language and interaction that have taken place on Twitter.
|
|
* [Beyond the Binary: What's the difference between genderqueer and
|
|
genderfluid?] [3] - I found this interesting mostly for the different ways in
|
|
which people think about these two terms, and others like them. People have
|
|
different reasons for using the labels they do, of course, and that leads to
|
|
these different interpretations.
|
|
* [Arriva train driver skirt protester] [4]: I...kinda want that skirt :S
|
|
* [I'm a trans woman and I'm not interested in being one of the good ones] [5] -
|
|
I really like this sentiment. I really have a hard time with the concept of
|
|
gatekeeping, sometimes, and I still hesitate to use all but the vaguest terms
|
|
for myself out of...well, fear, I suppose. Fear that I'm simply not X enough.
|
|
Again, I think this is pretty pertinent to a lot of recent discussions I've
|
|
had online.
|
|
* [Seven Transphobic Tropes Debunked] [6] and [Fighting misogyny within
|
|
feminism] [7] - These two articles seem to go hand in hand. There are a lot
|
|
of ways in which anti-trans\* sentiment is espoused, and these do a good job
|
|
of dissecting and doing their best to debunk those sentiments.
