It’s almost pride weekend in San Francisco. Preparations are being made for any number of festive activities. Marches, parades, parties. Right now, countless dykes are painting signs that read, “Dykes united will never be divided,” and such….

I think this is interesting especially when you also look at the article that says that more p.o.c. babies are being born than white babies.

*I have to add that assuming anyone’s gender identity is transpohobic imo. But I also totally stand by Tobi in transwomen needing spaces that they are specifically included in.

Cis Feminist Privilege:
I can read any feminist magazine, blog, website, visit any feminist demonstration, or watch any feminist vlog and be able to easily access information about the oppression people of my gender identity experience.
Seriously like do you even understand how hard it is for trans women to find any information about transmisogyny or cissexism? It’s virtually...

Attending to pro-feminist men isn’t the most important thing about my feminism, so I didn’t want to take too long on this, but I sketched out the following list.
Because it’s a sketch, it’s incomplete and may contain errors and problems. I’ve tried to filter out as...
