For real? Is it a "female-identified lesbians only" event?
Exclusion policies push my fairness buttons and stir up hurty feelings from my past, when trying to find my community at the only place I knew of, lesbian bars. Women there would tell me to go back to the straight bars where I belonged. Ouch on the "lesbian-only" judgment swinging around and hurting many.
I don't really think the "safe-from-men space" justification flies at a bar and dance.
Sigh. I hope I'm overstepping and reading too much into it. I hope Arwen's wrong about D not being able to go if he wanted to (then I could finally quit speaking to that hooker).
I hope we (that's the royal "we") are not bringing a new queer social event to Austin that would judge against and exclude half of our community.
