Yes, I am "equating womanhood with having a vagina" if it comes down to the basic anatomy of things (and by vagina I mean one created by nature/chromosomes - you know what I mean) and NO, I will not go and '(re)educate' myself. I did many years of comphet before arriving to where I am and NO at nearly 50, I DO NOT intend to go back. FFS, just leave us lesbians alone.

Read it a while ago and found it a good read. I’m just chucking everything on a list rn to go through. I’ve got until late September to plan.

Tell the class that you know there's a lot wrong with this article (so they won't start harassing you) but you're having trouble articulating the logic fallacies the article is using, AND it's their homework assignment to list all the problems with the article AND EXPLAIN WHY.

(i think the first one would be harder for them to argue with tho. The second one just invites a bunch of pomo word salad response, it would be easier for them to dismiss the second one.)

Thanks. The open letter is excellent. The second article I like, but it’s very long.
