So the Sevigny mess didn’t work out as planned because my affinity group had prior engagements and the venue was over-policed.  I’m going to analyze what made me so mad in the first place and while it definitely won’t be as cathartic as throwing a dildo at a bourgeois transphobe’s head, perhaps it will help just a tiny bit. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the Pussy Riot craze—I am in total solidarity with all of Pussy Riot and Voina— namely Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Marina Alyokhina, Yekaterina Samutsevich.  

What irks me is what my friend Cameron calls ”funmenism”, white cis women taking up a cause to soothe their bleeding liberal hearts— this behavior allows them to feel like ”activists” but also allows them to cling to the white supremacy and classism that they love so well.  Also, for those of you that do not know me, I am white and while i have begun to self-identify as genderqueer (or something like that) I have more cis and femme privilege than i know what to do with.  Just a little background.

What I mean to say is— what about cece?  What about the trans woman known only as tiffany, whose lifeless body was found on wedsnesday, only 3 blocks from where paige clay’s body was found earlier this year.   What the fuck y’all?  

If choosing a roster of only white feminists to speak about pussy riot isn’t white supremacy, I don’t know what is.  If allowing celebrities that perform at michfest and use the word tranny to speak out on an exciting, important and culturally relevant issue is not cis supremacy, i don’t know what is.

Snaps all around. Also, here’s a link to an article about Tiffany Gooden, a Chicago transwoman who was murdered 3 days ago.

yup

pretty much.
