Owning one's womanhood. I wrote to that theme in part 1, now it's time to take that idea into a worldview beyond "cis" and trans and power dynamics.

I've always believed that women with trans histories had a lot to bring to the Feminist table and I still do but in the process something else happened as well. The re-emergence of old battles and wounds within Feminism itself tied to the whole concept of "power" and privilege dynamics...and this is actually the essence of patriarchal thinking that places everything and everyone on a vertical relationship rather than the revolutionary Feminist ideas of the European "anarchist" feminists of the thirties and then the fifties and sixties.
