she was cuffed to the truth

yup.

I just want to restate that in my determination to bring shit back up yesterday, here and elsenet, my intnt was never to imply that liss was acting in anything less than good faith. i was not at any point trying to criticize Melissa in particular, but to think about it as a symptom of the transphobia/cis centrism of the larger feminist scene. The fact that even melissa, who i do firmly believe acts in good faith, and who is pretty well educated on matters of feminism and intersectionality, wasn't aware of Daly's trans issues, and that it doesn't even register in most feminist's minds to stop and check if any given second wave radfem promotes transhate before praising them, given how many of them fucked that up, really says something about how the larger feminist dialogue ignores the ugly racist transphobic etc etc, history of feminism.

and i thought that was way more significant than "oooh, liss fucked up!" it speaks to me of larger things that need fixing within even the best of modern feminism. and i count this blog (shakes) among the best of modern feminism.

--not that I am planning on getting banned there, but I didn't plan to have anything else i posted their deleted.
