I know right? It’s a bit hard to talk about stuff if you can’t have words for the stuff!

People who froth about “labels” drive me bug.

“Label” is a fancy word for “adjective (plus some nouns)”. Try communicating without those for a while!

Thanks!

Geopunk, truely trans inclusive would be so fab! I wish it existed too.

Sometimes I’m asked why I get all worked up about issues like this when x, y and z happens to GLB people, or women in general, that affect me. I always have to point out that until I’m accepted by people in those groups as an equal to even be part of the discussion around x, y and z recognition of my right to even have an opinion on them is not a given. So while I might well be angry or worked up about them, it isn’t the first battle on my wall planner that needs attention. We’re often still struggling to be seen as legitemate wall planner owners. Or to have our battles included in the general issue wall planner as relevant to anyone else. Craziness!
