I find myself believing more and more in a feminism of the "scary"; WoC, transfolk, the disabled, the queer. These people, I will happily stand with. Marcotte, Berg, these people? We're not even on the same ideological planet. Natalia, Ren, GG: Yes, me also.

I find myself believing more and more in a feminism of the “scary”; WoC, transfolk, the disabled, the queer. These people, I will happily stand with. Marcotte, Berg, these people? We’re not even on the same ideological planet.

As I just posted: "I mean, how often have we seen this lately? Sex workers who aren't "anti" are scary? WoC are "Scary"? Transwomen are "scary"? Lesbians into BDSM are "Scary", and it is used to push them out, silence them, and keep them out of "Feminist" spaces and debates? Enough is enough." Thanks for your support all, it means a lot.

Or does it apply only to that white, straight, cis, ablebodied, neurotypical middle-to-upper-class demographic? (I'll note that I'm part in and part out of that demographic: I'm white and middle-class. And being Jewish adds a kind of <a href="http://theangryblackwoman.wordpress.com/2008/04/04/thank-you-white-people/#comment-29257" rel="nofollow">weirdness</a> to being white, given our history, especially before WWII). Kind of makes it tough to identify as a feminist.
