Seriously? The response to this... seriously?

Because the fact that this woman claimed it was a latino man means... what?

aqrima wrote about the Kate Bornstein shit. She says anything necessary to be said:

kate bornstein.

your book, hello cruel world: 101 alternatives to suicide for teens, freaks & other outlaws, sucks. and you know what really sucks? the fact that you're an activist. someone who's supposed to be helping. and you are really, really failing.

your west-centrism and "let's look to the declaration of independence and amerika's founding fathers~ life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness, for inspiration! we can find everything we need there! politics of exclusion might've been ok at some point, but it's not ok anymore..." like, wtf? ok, so the united states of amerika was built on the principles of oppression: massive genocide, colonialism, imperialism. the declaration of independence is a lie; a white person's dream. and fuck you for endorsing this document while also claiming to be anti-racist. you are not anti-racist, kate bornstein. you are just one typical liberal bona fide racist.

your asexual-phobia (oh, about once in a blue moon you mention that it's okay to be asexual, but not really, since you keep going on about sexuality and sexual desire and romantic desire without touching on asexuality or people who are aromantic for that matter, at all, you flat-out say that "now we can all agree that we all want romance, right?" like wtf no actually, and you keep contradicting yourself and... yeah, i don't even know). i appreciate that you said you'd talk mostly about gender because it's what you know best; at least you admit your sphere of knowledge and experience. but. BUT. you keep talking about all this other stuff, because, naturally, intersections, hello, and you keep doing it in egregious ways. EGREGIOUS.
