What we (DON'T) have to put up with...another pregnant fuckin people response

 Of course you know that many people responded in support of wombn and against the erasure of wombn in this trend to erase wombn from our child-bearing miracle. (see the preceding post)

Sorry, but if there's a period, there's no pregnancy. 

But seriously Xan, why does this make you so angry? It just makes me want to understand how different people are. I don't feel I loose anything from opening up the gender binary. How does this hurt us?

It's a question worth answering and so I do:

1st of all, there is no gender binary, there is a sex binary. Period. So there's no gender binary to 'open up. There is a gender 'assignment' to sex & race. It's called, seen, & known as racist misogyny. U do not see that "pregnant people" erases wombn? U do not know that it is men who determined wombn shld b erased? That not 'just' our safety undermined but our very beings negated at best, eliminated if not dominated - nothing new.

Amy, in her succumbing to the clown world of the gender fracus has deserted wombn.

I spent my life working to abolish fuckin gender while committing myself to deeply loving, honoring, empowering, & holding sacred wombn, including white wombn. I know in the most knowing sense what racism & misogyny is & exactly how it is manifested not just in our society, systemically, but also how it is internalized, how we succumb & even contribute to if not our own oppression then to the oppression of others.

How does this hurt us Susan? U just said it - there is no more "us", once we become 'people' & when we r erased, then seeing our oppression, knowing who is dominating is no longer visible nor accountable. Sex-blind, color-blind r tried & true methods of oppression, not answers or 'understandings' of isms.

Part of love is accountability. I can love Amy & hold her accountable.

 

p.s. ALL the isms make me angry, at the very least. Why r u not angry? In love & RAGE, Xan
