http://kittywampus.wordpress.com/2009/06/30/fun-feminist-says-transphobias-not-funny/A few weeks ago, in comments on my post critiquing the term "sex class," Lisa Harney and Sunflower both prodded me to think and write more about transgender issues. While I feel like I need to keep offering disclaimers that I'm no expert in this area, I just read something that's so obviously disrespectful toward trans people that I'm going to stick my neck out and say: hey! this is plain wrong.
In a list of "10 Reasons to Suspect You're Not the Fun Kind of Feminist (Part I)," redmegaera writes:
