Re: Gender Thread

[(Anonymous)]

I read this--I think it's an interesting read, and the criticism of cis women who jump to conclusions and make everything about attacking masculinity is right on point, frankly. While I'm an angry lesbian myself who often takes joy in that kind of thing, it's important to know when that's an acceptable form of humor, when it's a fair criticism of real social problems, and when it's just jumping on a discourse bandwagon, and I think Jen Coates has provided some really thoughtful insight into where those distinctions might lie. She's also given a very personal and really compelling picture "from the inside" of one of the many forms that transness can take, and I appreciate that.

I did worry, as I read the article, that some elements might be taken out of context/taken as universal rather than personal. Even the headline to me seemed a bit out of line with the spirit of the piece, which makes me worry that people will read the headline, assume they understand what the essay says, and incorporate that into their gender politics.

I think that's a really good and thoughtful response, thank you. And I think there's always the possibility of something being misunderstood, and Coates does as much as anyone can to guard against it.

I agree; I'm really glad I kept reading to the end, because all the concerns I had at the beginning when I wasn't quite sure where all this was going got addressed by the end.
