'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

That depends on the neighborhood -- it's getting them to STOP at half that's the hardest part.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"had" as in "personally attached" or just "intimately acquainted"?

Personally attached.

Okay, I had to pick the necrophilia explanation on the RadFem 101 page, and...

In real life, and as mirrored in media images, boys and men are obsessed with death. Mary Daly referred to this obvious male preoccupation with death as “necrophilia,” meaning the love of death. Men’s necrophilic tendencies are not limited to literally sticking their dicks into corpses, although it includes that; necrophilia refers to men’s obsession with death and all things related to death and antithetical to life, including neglect and abuse, causing reproductive harm, rape, murder, torture, war, inflicting physical and emotional pain generally, and placing themselves and others in harm’s way in every way. Where women are interested in and indeed heavily invested in preserving and nurturing life, often because they have to, or face legal or social consequences if they fail, men are working very hard to undermine women’s efforts to nurture life at every turn.

Dude, this is why people say they're not feminists. Because they're convinced they'll be associated with that kind of thinking. When they may simply mean their feminism isn't radical.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

this obvious male preoccupation with death

So obvious that we don't have to prove this crazycakes assertion.

My father alone has killed many people. He's really sad he only had daughters, because who will kill people now?

Damn..I fell down another rabbit hole. Is Chaz Bono gay or straight? I thought he was straight. Huff Post slideshow confused me.

Now I'm reading about Chuck Norris being a general doucherag in a pro-ammunition publication.

WTF? Pro-ammunition? Is that a step further than the NRA, which is only pro-gun? Guns don't kill people--ammunition kills people.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

At first I was trying to tie Bambi into the trans versus radfem debate and I was totally confused.

That guy's picture clearly indicates he wants to eat my face, no bath salting required.

I need to know why everyone isn't responding to claims of transethnicity by laughing themselves to death. That does appear to be the sanest response.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The tumblrs I was reading were very much stating that there was no such thing as a cis self-defined trans* ally.

If I am not real, can this damn headache also not be real, please? I mean, if Tumblrs are going to re-define me away, my headache can go, too.

And there seems to be an ongoing battle on tumblr between trans* women and radical feminists.

That shit is UGLY. I'm pretty damned feminist, but the shit radfems say about trans* women makes me ashamed to even claim to be a feminist of any stripe. DAMN.

t this has been your Steph-posts-about-trans*-stuff moment for today
