Week's End Potpourri: Looks, Love, Writing & Thought, Feminists & Sons
Posted August 22, 2008
http://radnichole.wordpress.com/2008/08/22/weeks-end-potpourri-looks-love-writing-thought-feminists-sons/It's been a busy week. The "Lookist" essay has gotten a good bit of discussion going, here and on various bulletin boards. It probably seemed controversial to transsexuals because, well, it was simply something that transsexuals have learned not to talk about because discussion in some areas simply causes tempers to rise and the word "elitist" to get bandied about almost as much as the word "privilege."
It is what it is and the personal responsibility is evenly divided between both sides of the issue, in my opinion. That I don't like what the effects of estrogen on my body and face have been is my own responsibility to work with. Afterall, it's a personal experience, just like the positive effects of estrogen on my body are.
