Boosting Tasha's Signal, With Bonus Feminism
My new favorite blogs are Tasha Fierce's Red Vinyl Shoes and Sex and the Fat Girl. I learned about these wonderful blogs via a notice that Tasha is having serious financial trouble, so if you read and like, please chip in if you can.
I mentioned a while back that since starting physical transition, I find myself more interested in feminist issues. This seemed a little perverse at the time, but after thinking about it for a few months, it makes more sense to me. Insofar as women can be construed as a group, though obviously not a homogenous one, I had spent most of my adult life trying to find a way to fit into that group and largely failing (though there may have been times when I appeared successful). Though my issues were in no way the fault of women, I can see now that they often caused me to be resentful and dismissive of women. I regret that and am trying to learn.
