Activism ReportWrote a letter to the editor
I wrote a letter to the editor in support of my state's protecting women's sports bill. I opened it explicitly as "I write as a woman, a Democrat, and a feminist." That's because I don't think my letter will persuade anyone, but I want it to give heart to the "silent majority" inside the Democratic party and feminist/lefty circles. I encouraged people to read the text of the act for themselves, rather than believe it is "anti-trans." So hopefully I can encourage some people to investigate, and give some people some hope that they are not alone.
But I'm scared, of course. The paper said they have to print your name and city, and normally print your email address unless you request not to. I requested they not print my email address, but...it's hard to trust in this day in age.
But there's a voice in the back of my head that's like, "Let 'em come for me. I said nothing unreasonable. I don't want to live like a coward."
Wish me luck!
I heart Menno
This lesbian less-being could travel anywhere in the world, and back in time since the dawn of humanity, with his wife and have his relationship understood and respected
And he could do it dressed like that.
All he’s gotta do is declare “eccentric artist” and everyone would clap
I heart Menno as well
Or claim that he has invented an alter ego. An Austrian singer does just that. He's a homosexual, very talented guy and also stands by that. However, he has an alter ego that wears long-haired wigs, female clothes (they look tailored to fit him, though) and tons of make-up. And a beard. It's basically his stage persona, he even won the European Song Contest a couple of years ago - and rightly so, too, the song still gives me goosebumps.
However, in his private life and when not on a stage or involved in any kind of show, he's just a regular guy who happens to be homosexual. He never pretended otherwise.
Yep, sounds like Eddie Izard before he went full AGP
That was his thing since the 90s I think
All he’s gotta do is declare “eccentric artist” and everyone would clap
As artistic (or pretentious) blokes have been doing for many decades.
Sometimes people clapped, sometimes we went "what a wally". Yes, do it in the wrong small town and you might get some agro, but about the same as wearing the wrong football scarf.
I cannot imagine pretending to be a lesbian to serve my husband's fetish. The shame would kill me
