Sex & gender activism

Kate Bornstein asks,

"As sex and gender activists, what rights and resources must we demand?

Of what value is our sex and gender activism to allied activists of other marginalized groups?"

As sex and gender activists, we must demand our right to free speech. We must demand equal access to the resources of mass media as our opponents.

Our sex and gender activism helps to break down the most primary distinction between groups of humans, and helps others become more open to the idea that those distinctions may not really exist anywhere.

i am relieved by the presence of butches anywhere. i see you on the train, on the street, behind the counter. i see you being your best to the people who need you, reminding them what real gentility looks like. i see you trying not to let too many people see you. thank you for meeting my gaze and releasing it.

rest assured, we femmes can still recognize you, across genders and generations.
