Feminism and Reproductive Rights

Corkey · 09-21-2011, 07:53 PM

Ok, I don't think my sexual identity has anything to do with female reproductive rights. Women have the rights of their bodies. Period. Men do not have a say in what a woman does with her body. Period. The way I identify has no bearing on the above.

...and i certainly wasn't suggesting that your individual sexual identity does, did, could or would have anything to do with women's reproductive rights. what i was asking was whether or not female/male identified transpeople prioritize women's reproductive freedoms within the ideological framework of their own identities as men and women. men do have a say in this since men vote, men implement restrictive legislation as to what we can/cannot do with our (women's) bodies, and men dominate the political platform that mandates these statutes...by in large.

I have always and will continue to vote for women's rights to their own bodies. I do not agree that men have any say in what a woman does with her body. When the day comes a man develops a uterus, only then can he speak, and then for himself, no one else. I have never wavered in my fervent support of women's rights, never, and if you were my friend on the FB you may know this for a fact. I support Planned Parenthood, I contact my legislators on petitions that effect women's issues, and until my dying breath I will never give a man, any man the right to say what a woman can do with her body. My politics is not my gender, they are logical and humane.
