Steph doesn’t like marriage

TW cissexism, bierasure, d/v, rape I may have talked more about marriage than marriage equality because ARGH. (I wish I’d made this video two weeks ago, would have been a good revision tool =p). Also much as I dislike marriage personally I don’t have any particularly strong feelings towards other people getting married and I LOVE weddings (plus I kinda have a wedding photography thing on the side so…). And I repeated some of Becca’s points because firefox crashed half way through her video and WOULDN’T WORK AGAIN until after I’d done my video. Annoying! Also I think I have some posts on marriage on my tumblr under the tag marriage or family law if anyone’s interested in other law/marriage related things.

Trans Feminism: There’s No Conundrum About It

“Instead, these feminisms recognize that there are numerous forms of sexism—that is, numerous double standards based on a person’s sex, gender, or sexuality. In addition to traditional sexism (where men are viewed as more legitimate than women), there is heterosexism (where heterosexuals are viewed as more legitimate than homosexuals), monosexism (where people who are exclusively attracted to members of a single sex are viewed as more legitimate than bisexuals/pansexuals), masculine-centrism (where masculine gender expression is viewed as more legitimate than feminine gender expression) and so on.

There are also other forms of marginalization prevalent in our society, such as racism, classism and ableism.As feminists of color have articulated, these do not act independently of one another but intersect with and exacerbate one another. A woman of color doesn’t face racism and sexism separately; the sexism she faces is often racialized, and the racism she faces is often sexualized. This concept of intersectionality is now very well accepted among many contemporary feminists (albeit not by those who continue to adhere to a unilateral men-oppress-women-end-of-story approach to feminism).

Trans feminism is rooted in this idea that there are multiple forms of sexism that often intersect with each other and other forms of oppression.”
