I had no idea we had so many ex-strippers here!!

I would totally contemplate it, but (a) don't have the body for it (b) am now too old and (c) I think I assumed you have to have pole skillz, and have no idea how you learn those. But I've definitely thought long and hard about doing some burlesque.

Yeah, I've read that as an argument for the assertion that a woman can't be a feminist unless she's a lesbian

Hah. But see, even if you're a lesbian, are you a FEMME lesbian? Well, clearly you've still bought into the patriarchal notion of how you're supposed to look. You just want to PASS! And if you're BUTCH, well--that's just because you are GLORIFYING MASCULINITY, which does not DESERVE to be GLORIFIED! EVIL!!

meara, I nearly had diet Coke in my nose, stop that.

Srsly, I am a proud and longtime feminist, but we do have a Judean People's Front vs People's Front of Judea tendency.

amych is doing it now, too!

edit: Follow the shoe! No, the gourd! It's a test!

meara ftw. And don't forget, if you transition to male, it's because you want male privilege! So you are betraying your lesbian compatriots.

And if you're a bisexual woman, you are stealing lesbian energy and giving it to men. Also, you shouldn't go to queer women's events because you endanger lesbians (I don't remember what the argument was for that one).

edit for something I remembered....

But if you transition to female, you're co-opting our experience.

Also, you shouldn't go to queer events because you endanger lesbians (I don't remember what the argument was for that one).

Because we might be TRICKED into thinking you are TRUE lesbians, and then you will do your EVIL bisexual AGENDA on us (...um, which is having a threesome with your BOYFRIEND!).

All bisexuals live for threesomes. It's in the packet.

Well, why else would we become bisexual if not for teh threesomes?
