ARGH!!!
Who said it and why she did IS NOT THE FUCKING POINT!
I had high hopes for this discussion and feel frustrated as hell that we can't have a conversation about the underlying meaning of the statement in terms of what it says about women and especially butch women. And i believe we can do this without any negative assumptions about male identified butches or transmen. In fact, they just might have some good things to say as well in looking at narrow definitions of women in general as well as butch identity. Not all of us buy into butch-wars and hate each other.
You know, this isn't about taking sides.... honoring differences can make a powerfully strong bridge to understanding.
