Often times I wonder if I am unwittingly complicit.
* Do you see any group of masculine ID's having an agenda to attack another group?
No.
* As a Femme, do you see a "war" between Femmes of different IDs? Why or why not?
No. I feel like there is a hierarchy but not a "war'.
* Do you think that Femmes contribute in any way to the gender or identity formation of Butches or Transmen? How about contributing to the gender formation of Butches of Transmen who Femmes date?
I have seen it happen, yes. In the Femme that brags about getting rid of her Butches "hanes her way" underwear and replacing it with boxers to the Femmes that see all Butches as masculine.
* Do you, as a Femme, have a feminine or masculine identity?
Yes.
* Do you even feel like there is a "Gender War"? Is that an external manifestation of the internal? Do you feel that it is a construct of the larger sexist and misogynist society at work here?
I feel like it is both. It feels like there is not room for everyone sometimes. Do I feel that it is a construct of sexism and misogyny? You bet. I also feel like Misandry is not absent from the mix.
I'll be back in just a bit --
