Ricardo Menendez-March went onto say, "there is no contradiction in our position on the environment. Yes, it is a sin to use a plastic bag for your shopping when you could use a Fair Trade organic cotton bag with the Greens logo on it, but all that plastic required to maintain the facade of the trans lifestyle, not to mention all the imported drugs, surgical equipment, etc. used to create the artifice of authenticity, has no carbon footprint because we feel that our superior attitude wipes out the oppressive nature of the social construction that keeps women with penises separated from girls who don't have one. To believe that medical supplies and the time and talents of the taxpayer funded health system should be limited to keeping bodies optimally healthy, is just another demonstration of bigotry, hate and violence towards our Rainbow community."
I am, just for once, break my absolutely unbreakable rule of never commenting with too many beers and say: Thanks so much.
The things you are saying are almost word-for-word what's rattling round in my head. It's like I lose consciousness, become a female version of me, write an awesome blog, and then regain consciousness with no memory of what happened (while recognising the obvious fact that humans are not clownfish and cannot change sex).
Keep up the fantastic work and I can't believe I missed your blog.
And OMFG the rainbow greens. I was in the Greens. Heavily. Candidate and policy writer. There are people in the Greens who command my utmost respect. But OMFG. The rainbow greens are neither rainbow nor greens. They are a cult. It's all there. In-group language. "You can trust the in-group, you can't trust the outgroup". Separation from family. "We are your new family". Express these mantras to prove your devotion. Now that you've done that, prove your devotion with experimental drugs and irreversible body modification: but not really, we Accept you for Who You Are. Because we Love(bomb) you. But go on. Just a bit more devotion, please.
Trans rights are human rights, sure, trans people exist, sure, but OMG the current model is so wrong.

The Greens' determined ignorance of what women are fighting for here is completely feigned, otherwise they'd have to admit that they stuffed up.
