The organisers of RadFem2012 have actively chosen to align themselves with this majority, and in so doing are complicit in trans women’s oppression. Radical? Feminism? I think not.

me: “I’m on tumblr.”
mom: “the feminist cat website?”

If you know truly that you an an ally, and care about these people then it shouldn’t offend you. You should understand that sometimes venting is necessary, and that it is not an attack on you personally. Step back, look at the bigger picture, and ask yourself why you’re so upset about someone you have privilege over expressing their discontent about the situation.
This is so good.
FOR THOSE UNAWARE:
THIS YEAR GAYINTEREST IS ORGANIZING A TEAM FOR THE 2012 AIDS WALK. SO FAR THERE ARE EIGHT OF US, BUT THE MORE OF YOU WHO JOIN, THE MORE CHANCES WE HAVE TO GET DRUNK FOR FREE.
FOR EVERY WALKER WE REGISTER ON OUR TEAM BETWEEN NOW AND FRIDAY AT 5PM, WE GET AN ENTRY IN A DRAWING TO WIN A FREE POST-WALK HAPPY HOUR IN THE EAST VILLAGE.
IF YOU ARE IN OR NEAR NYC AND WOULD LIKE TO JOIN OUR TEAM AND WALK WITH US, CLICK HERE TO REGISTER, THEN SELECT “GAYINTEREST” FROM THE TEAM DROP DOWN MENU.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PLEDGE A DONATION, PLEASE CLICK HERE. IT’S JUST LIKE KICKSTARTER, BUT REAL!
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO DO EITHER, REBLOGGING IS ALSO HELPFUL! ANY/ALL QUESTIONS CAN BE DIRECTED TO KEEHNAN@GMAIL.COM.
IF REBLOGGING THIS ADVERSELY AFFECTS YOUR PERSONAL BRAND YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT YOUR FUCKING LIFE.
