Countering Sabotage of WBW at Michfest 2011

Re: Countering Sabotage of WBW space at MWMF 2011
As usual the same suspects saying the same things we've always been saying, and the trans and transapologists saying the same damn things they've been saying shaming us for guarding our Amazonian territory and our Amazonian womon born womon space. What, do we take swords to defend the matter? and yet we're using the keystroke AS our swords/Labryises.

The trans have Cybele, the Goddess they worshipped to give permission to remove their members in ecstasy and to live the rest of their lives out as either eunuchs or 'females'. I'm sorry, but feminininty, that line of lies DOES NOT equal Female. So no matter how 'feminine' you are, DOES NOT make you Female. Any self respecting Female centered Butch NOT trying to 'pass' as male(except for safety on the street late at night), but in her daily way, is more female than ANY feminine MTF. Femininity, along with masculinity are social constructs. Biological Females and males can fall anywhere within that construct, and do, according to their personal proclivities, upbringing, tastes, and rewards. I was Butch/tomboy from a very young age, and I was never 'feminine' enough, always too 'mannish', too 'masculine', and thus censored by family, those in school, coworkers and bosses, and the rest of the world for that lack of conformity, BUT I was still FEMALE nonetheless...even if at times I hated being so, because of the stereotyping of 'acceptable' roles left open for females, and NONE that catered to my Butch/young tomboyish sensibilities. I distinctly DID NOT want a dallywhacker, a penis between my legs..I WANTED EQUAL POWER AND OPPORTUNITY!

However, the trans movement has nothing to do with a 'gender binary' or even with that meaningless word, 'gender'. In fact, it is a conservative movement, which is why the Iranians will pay for sex reassignment surgery to halt homosexuality, which is punishable by death. Some Fundamentalist Christians insist on the same, even if unlike Iran and other Arab Moslem countries, cannot enforce it. They also expect their women to be feminine and their girls in dresses...cuz they may turn out to be a Dyke, if they get to express their tomboy/Butchy natures! Some will be, some won't.

The trans movement is all about gender conformity...that is, if you fail to fit one sex, that is, too masculine as a female, too dykey, too much of a womonlover, and too Butch/Macha/Amazonian/boyish ect. then you MUST belong to the other..and there you are with all the cheerleaders to go get some hormones and some "T", to dress more hetero male to 'pass' which means nothing more than falsifying one's history/herstory, and eventually to have one surgery or another, mostly the breast removal surgery, since the genitally mutilating penis implantation surgery is dangerous, unreliable and destructive, and really doesn't work. Wow, I saw a film on it, and it is INDEED genital mutilation for the sake of false parts. As bad as any genital mutilation done to Female bodies across the world for an ideology, a religion, ect.

So, the trans movement leaves maimed bodies without full sexual sensation as a result in it's wake. The same goes for the MTF surgeries as well, though the doctors have bragged they've nearly perfected that one....not nearly enough in our Dykely opinion..it's still window dressing that will NEVER replace the multi-orgasmic capabilities that bio female women have. EVER. Or the mystery of bleeding the Sacred MoonBlood, or the hope/fear of impregnation, ability to choose to give birth, or not....one cannot replace the womb with the prostate.

So, you want what you can't have, the male born, and the wanna be male..this is the essence of MALE privilege..not 'doing in Rome as the Romans do', that is, asking the native inhabitants of women only and born female space whether it's o.k. to join in, or not, it is IMPOSING OF YOUR MALE WILLS upon us....all the 2000 plus years of privilege, even hearkening back to the time of Cybele when the de-membered began to take the place of bio females in the temples, the eunuch priests began to gain ascendancy and power over the powerful Female Priestesses, to what we have today. Men in frocks and robes telling women not to have abortions, not to allow Lesbians to marry, or homosexuality at all..while they have their boys in the background. And I mean, boys, not men...those pedophile priests, whose sexuality has been so repressed because of religion and it has twisted them and made them cruel and mean and destructive...like the black frocks, the Dominicans that have done all too many cruelties on women and native peoples, and homosexual folks. Forced eunuchism, not from surgeries, but from religious vows that are completely against human instinct.

The trans movement inherits much of that, maybe not the whole anti-sex thing, but the whole trying to be something you are not....instead of resolving the differences between one's self-expression and a society that only allows us to live in a small set of parameters, and invisibilizes those who don't. So, those who can't 'make it' as men, must be women....and instead of being a 3rd or 4th sex, and regalling in your OWN history around that, you coopt ours...you coopt Dyke space, Dyke herstory, Dyke lives, Dyke sexuality, all of it....and crash our boundaries over and over again, proving to us the pricks you REALLY ARE....but with a feminine facade. OR an overly masculized facade. Yes, I went to an event in the Twilight Zone, andthe first to greet me at a party, was a full transition body hair, scratchy hormone induced voice FTM. Not a hairy Butch with a deep voice, but a full transition FTM. I was so turned off and I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

For the MTF's like Brenda et. al who think they're pulling a fast one on us...I can recognize 95% of the time when I see an MTF..if not by appearance by energy, but I'll figure it out eventually.....often right away..YOU ARE NOT FOOLING US.

We are the Amazons defending OUR territory, as we did in the ancient past, the last of the Matriarchs to defend the ancient Matriarchies and worship of the Goddess....and we are STILL defending our territory, as womyn, as womyn loving womyn, as Butches, Femmes, inbetweens and all the rest, who are Dykes, Lesbians and DykeAmazon Witches and Warriors who say "NO!" and stand up to this very patriarchal silencing of us.

I'm no longer LGBT...I'm just the L or just the D(as in LEsbian, as in Dyke)....the rest mean nothing to me....

Gender fluidity???

I need to post about this nightmare era of the scariest of 21st Century science fiction, where they're giving women shots who are pregnant to eliminate the possibility of an 'androgynized' baby who might end up becoming a Lesbian, Butch or FTM...but another elimination of Butch Dyke tactic.....so the girls would want to have babies, worship men and marry them..instead of refuse, grow up as hardcore tomboys and become Butches...just read the article this week...anything to get rid of us Butches.

I believe in REAL gender fluidity. The kind that doesn't require shots, hormones or surgeries....but I especially believe in women, including Butches LIVING AS THE WOMEN WE ARE, and expressing ourselves in MANY different ways, AS WOMEN, that is often heavily repressed in patriarchal cultures. Us Butches show other women that you CAN live outside the box, like the ancient Amazons did. Like the Joan of Arcs, and those who had to pass as male to marry another woman, or to be a writer, a soldier, an artist, a full human being, when women's roles were so heavily constrained.

You're right, it's not 'genderfluid' to then go and conform to the opposite sex's 'rules' from haircuts FTMs are supposed to get that are conservative masculine, to conservative masculine dress, not tank tops and jeans, cuz they could be mistaken as Butch Dykes, ect.......or that there are organizations like Tri Ess for MTF's to appear, talk and act like properly submissive, obedient, sexually revealing soft spoken females in highly feminized clothing, while they could be 6 ft 2" and have linebacker shoulders and very masculine faces they have to cover in tons of makeup, giving themselves away, with their platinum blonde hair..that is NOT 'genderfluid' either. It's conformity.

Both conform. Because if they don't they are so terribly afraid they could be 'outed' as the falsities they are. Genderfluid is can appear as either sex, but in a celebratory way..one day you're in a suit and tie, the next in skirt and heels, with a beard or drag....or so inbetweener you're hard to read as either male or female, a combination of a bit of both(and there are fine boned individuals like that who are indeed hard to read), but they're being just themselves, and playing with their gender presentations, not hiding who they are, like the whole transitioning industries expect....properly stereotypically masculine or properly stereotypically feminine behavior....which is learned, false, and faked. They're all patriarchal social constructs anyway....I say do away with the social constructs, and get REAL about exactly WHO you are...and the real truth is the biological one...the rest is all show and a smokescreen to fool us! But us Dykes know, we're not as easily fooled, and that's why we're hated!
You can't pull the wool over our eyes so easily!

response to trans agenda from Dirt's Women's College thread

Poppycock...I've heard it all before. The militant trans movement has done just about everything it can to destroy women only space, and gotten young dykes/butches, ect to identify as 'queer' and want 'queer' space, rather than identify with the dreaded 'woman'. I don't want to share my bathrooms with M E N, I've done enough of that on the job and I see just how nasty they leave their outhouses, and the misogynist woman hating and homophobic writings on the wall, NO THANKS. Have your gender neutral bathroom if you must, but don't deny I might want one that is women only, and not come behind nasty M E N with it's pissed filled smell. They can't even let the toilet seat down!

I don't believe in the whole 'body disphoria' thing, that too is learned. Believe me, I had it as a kid, it's called SEXISM. I in no way wanted to be a 'girl', because being a 'girl' meant wearing dresses, being powerless, not being the hero, having to play dolls and house and domestic chores, and the work world was limited, as well as the roles females could inhabit, otherwise they/we/I were thought of as 'unwomanly', 'unseemly', 'unfeminine' and 'don't you want to be a little lady?' NO. I crossed out the term girl and she and put he and boy in my textbooks. I hated that we were being trained to obsess on our bodies, on babies, on appearing feminine, when nothing was further than the truth for me. For me, Feminism, with it's promise of complete female EMPOWERMENT, fueled my mind, and gave me pride and hope that I could do anything a boy could do. Unfortunately, due to persistent systemic and overt sexism and homophobia(anytime we should leave the feminine box) this promise hasn't been kept. Women, Butches, Females are still only 2% of the skilled trades, and many, many women have tried, and been kept out by the male systems intact. There's still the worship of male religions and dieties that keep women throughout the world down, and even actively anti-feminist, unwilling to liberate themselves and their sisters AS WOMEN from the chains imposed by men and 2000 plus years of patriarchy.

You can talk once the patriarchy is destroyed, the boot is off my neck. Nobody is 'gender neutral', that is a phallacy, a true phallic lie. Yes indeed. Genderfluid maybe, but never genderneutral. The answer is not in cutting off and sticking on body parts, the answer is in expanding what a women or man can do, dress in, inhabit themselves in a world that denies even tiny differences from the male-macho, female-feminine norm, imposed by politicians, religion, society, cultural and educational institutions, as well as the family itself. Much of it based on the fear of truly feral POWERFUL Females untamed by men, or their female mouthpieces, and on the fear of homophobia/lesbophobia.

Then much of this so-called disphoria would disappear. Maybe a tiny few would decide to take it further, but I simply don't believe that the young boyish/masculine/butch women that are transitioning, strapping down their breasts, taking 'T' in droves would feel they have to if they could FULLY be themselves, and felt FULLY empowered as just the kind of women they are. We come in many different flavors. Feminine does not automatically mean female. The same would be true of the drag queens and effeminate men that get shit on physically assaulted, sexually assaulted, made fun of or beat up for defying the male is macho role, so therefore they must 'be a woman'.

And anonymous, if you are trans(especially MTF), then ask us bio Females whether we want you in our presence, and RESPECT that. Or, come in as a guest to our Tribe, and honor our lead, our struggles, our battles. You never need worry about issues like abortion, birth control, birthing a child, being impregnated by rape, bleeding the sacred moonblood(a sacred bio-female mystery), or female diseases like breast, uterine, cervical, ovarian cancers. These are unique to us. As well as many other things. There IS a huge difference. Come in with respect, without stridency or 'demands' as this is a very male way of doing things, never taking 'no' for an answer, disrespecting our boundaries, AS women, or maybe we want to be amongst our own in some spaces, RESPECT THAT, in the way I would respect women of color wanting their OWN spaces.

But see, this doesn't happen. Both MTF's and FTM's force their way into our Female domains, and then DENY our need for them, and to focus on OUR issues, so much to the point that the Lesbian community IN AND OF ITSELF is almost invisible in my area, for the sake of those who call themselves 'queer' and push the trans issues. And yet hetero and gay men still get to have THEIR spaces....
