I have never held with the WBW philosophy of the fest.
Am I less of a woman because of a birth defect? I was still born womyn.
What about women who are born with diabetes? Does that make them less female?
Can they answer what is female? What is a womyn?
I know many lesbians are particularly angry about MTF transsexuals because they feel that they are an abomination and are trying to steal some secret feminine power.
This bigoted attitude is so reminiscent of the fundie church people that it would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. What it shows is that when an attitude is sufficiently extreme, it is nearly indistinguishable from an attitude at the exact opposite end of the spectrum.
I am sorry that some of my sisters do not think me womyn enough for them because I never bore children, menstruated, heard my biological clock tick, or agonized through puberty.
Instead I was taunted, beaten up, called queer and ->-bleeped-<-got by both boys and girls and spent most of my puberty alone in silent torture.
Yeah, I guess I'm not a womyn...
