As usual: What Belledame Said.

I’m so glad Drakyn had a good time at Camp Trans, too.

PS: AW, if you sent me an email, I didn’t get one from a name I recognized. I got several emails asking tarot questions and I didn’t recognize everyone’s name… type FROM ARROGANT WORM in the subject line and send again! ((kisses))

I’ve been having some technical problems and they are driving me crazy. Blogging experts, weigh in if you have a spare moment.

but yeah, I mean, it’s “theft” in roughly the same way that little light “stole” goddess imagery/the experience of having been oppressed as a woman/the right to write poetry/feminism/precious bodily fluids from Robin Morgan, which is to say All Women Everywhere, which is to say…Blanche, basically. :thumbs up:

hey, Blanche, you know what, you’re -stealing- attention and oxygen from the rest of the planet; the rest of the planet is beginning to get sick of it.

Yeah, goddamit, how dare those trans women get a free ride when REAL women like Blanche begged/manipulated the money to go (from people poorer than she is) fair and square?!

see, Blanche, they’re just taking you up on that whole “gift economy” idea. I thought we LIKED the idea of a “gift economy;” or is that only when the gifts go to you?

The implication is obviously that a “true festie” buys into the WBW shit. For Heart and co, transphobia is an integral part of what Fest stands for.

Oops – that was AmazonTrader referenced in my first comment.

Drakyn, yeah. It’s really obnoxious how Heart will take one little thing, strip it of all context, and attack it – and she makes sure never to link. That’s what she did to Ceridwen just as she did to you. It’s very close to what she did to little light (and I only say that because I think she actually linked little light?).

Lisa, no, the one with the awesome removing skillz is AmazonTrader. Others were saying that they had trouble removing the bracelet without damage, so she jumped in after already saying that she could take it off just find to state it -again-, only with much grandiosity and a complaint that Brenda isn’t anywhere -near- as handy, and that she should get lost because she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. I suppose she missed those other people that said they had a hard time of it as well.

Grr, I’m annoyed that heart took my awesome experience to nitpick about one little thing. One little, positive thing. Hells, I barely mentioned Michfest because i’d like CT to be more than just a protest; we’re getting there, but I look forward to a CT future where we do way more for trans* communities.

Also, <3 the video.

Seriously? Heart’s defending womanhood from a trans woman who says she can remove her bracelet without harming it?

She gets more wtf every day.
