"It was an important event that . . . signals the start of a new era in the pushback against gender ideology in Canada."
I was hoping to learn specifics about the ideas and strategies that the speakers shared with the attendees.
Also, do the conference organizers, who were successful in escaping the notice of trans rights activists and the other denizens of Vancouver's leftist ecosystem, plan on releasing content from the conference to the public in Vancouver? If one pulls off an act of resistance on the opposition's doorstep, it helps if the opposition finds out about it at some point.
OK, that was a taste. It raised a few questions for me. I support Cherry Smiley's Women's Studies Online, although my participation has been minimal. Why do you think she would have shamed you publicly? What is it about the "radical feminist lens" you dislike so much?
I would like to know in what ways "pretty much all of [your] intellectual and emotional sensibilities are opposed to the radical feminist lens". Many of your readers are radical feminists. What are your disagreements with radical feminist perspectives?
First, I want to say that it was not "Radical Feminists" that I'm aware of who alerted us to the trans cult or first fought them. It was Radical Lesbian Feminists, and we have been their target ever since. The majority of these men I know about were perving on Lesbians and wanting access to us, as well as pretending to be us, as they took over everything we created. (I first wrote against the cult in 1973, in our Lesbian Separatist newspaper, Dykes and Gorgons.)
I think most "Radical Feminists" who are het play a double game where they are deeply invested in males and don't want to lose their privilege, which includes their terror at being called "Lesbians." I have some dear friends, but then am always in shock at the betrayals, though we wrote about it in our Book, Dykes-Loving-Dykes, published in 1990.
Second, I would never consider you "conservative"! I always think that's a euphemism the media uses for right wing to nazi who are the people who want to kill us.
Third, I don't know the women mentioned or featured, but it's terrible that you would have to worry about being "shamed" by any of them or worry about any bad treatment by them. But actually, I would expect that for myself if I was able to go to a conference like that, and I think so much goes back to targeting Lesbians and also about classism. You are doing such important work for all Lesbians and women and girls and shouldn't have to worry about not being "given the time of day." You are wonderful and courageous and brilliant, and I would be honored to meet you in person.
I don't know why you don't think males oppress females, but wonder if it's something in what I consider "fake feminism" that puts you off those politics. I see a war going on across the earth of males against females, to where almost no girl or woman has escaped sexual assault by boys and men and none escaped sexual harassment (including rape "jokes," "teasing," talking about our bodies and so much more.) This had been a basis of real feminism, but I see the women invested in males backing off from daring to talk or think about it. (This is some of what we wrote in our book about it: https://bevjoradicallesbian.wordpress.com/2017/09/09/chapteronethe-crimes-of-mankind/
We could talk about it sometime, if you'd like. You are a treasure, seriously.
I'd thought we agree about so much politically, but am confused
