Work 4 Peace,Hold All Life Sacred,Eliminate Violence! I am on my mobile version of the door-to-door, going town-to-town holding readings/gatherings/discussions of my book "But What Can I Do?" This is my often neglected blog mostly about my travels since 9/11 as I engage in dialogue and actions. It is steaming with my opinions, insights, analyses toward that end of holding all life sacred, dismantling the empire and eliminating violence while creating the society we want ALL to thrive in

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

 A strate white womon kinda friend reacted negatively to my post about fuckin pregnant "people" language. I wasn't even talking about Scotland or some European aryan male shit where the law is requiring midwives (did they allow the 'wives' to slip thru?) to refer to mothers and pregnant wombn as "pregnant people".

Instead, I was referring to a news bulletin on Democracy Now, talking about the impact of covid on pregnant fuckin "people"...

This is what I wrote:

Fuckin pregnant fuckin "people"??? Really amy goodman???
So is everyone else fuckin non-pregnant fuckin "people"???
Just because misogyny attempted to make the ONLY purpose/value for females forced baby-makers doesn't mean that the glorious ability of our bodies to create, give and sustain life, should any wombn who even has the choice CHOOSE to do so, is anything less than a sacred ability that elevates our worth and status as the invaluable FEMALE human beings on the planet we are.
NO there are NO pregnant "people": there are ONLY pregnant wombn and girls. Period.

To which Nancy responded:
 What ism here are you talking about? You are so wrong in your opinion about trans people. I will erase this whole text and do so whenever you put down trans people. People are human first and all humans should be respected. I am so surprised at your hatred of other human beings. I know many trans people, worked with them 40 years ago in Pittsburgh, Pa., never met a trans person I didn't admire.

To which I said:
Ur totally avoiding the issue & making a blatant attempt to disregard the misogyny that is disappearing wombn. What is this bullshit people r human? This is ur version of "all lives matter" when faced with the calling out of misogyny. Or being color-blind. I'm talking about misogyny, fuckin racist, sexist, heterosexist misogyny: the domination & oppression of wombn & girls. Of fuckin course we're all human but systemic isms make some dominant & others dominated, etc, etc. Y can't u get this Nancy? Centering & loving wombn has NOTHING 2 do w/men. Period. Y can't u accept & honor & hold sacred wombn & girls? Period. Without hvng 2 go on a trans rant.
