The word is about a lot more than bruised feelings; I’m talking about trauma. As a man in a male supremacist society, trans or not, you really don’t get to say what is and isn’t sexist, and claiming and identifying with a word that is used to dehumanize and justify violence against women is a pretty fucked up thing for a dude to do. You can’t just say you’re a trans activist and then throw the other half of your community under the bus.

Northern Ireland, 1969Gilles Caron
-
Gilles Caron (1939 – 1970) was a French photographer and photojournalist.
Gilles Caron was born in 1939 in Neuilly near Paris, France. After spending three years as a paratrooper in Algeria fighting a war he opposed, in 1967 he co-founded the Gamma photo agency.
Dubbed the French “Robert Capa,” he proceeded to cover the Six-Day War in Israel, conflict in Vietnam and Biafra (Nigeria), the May 1968 student upheavel in Paris, riots in Northern Ireland, anti-Soviet demonstrations in Prague, and the Toubou uprising against the central government in Chad in 1970.
On April 4 of that same year his meteoric career was cut short when he went missing in a Khmer Rouge-controlled area of Cambodia.
Hey, I'm Emma, and I think I look pretty good in a lab coat.
I enjoy thinking about very large things, thinking about very small things, riding a bicycle, smashing the patriarchy, making music, eating fresh fruit, waking up early, looking at the sky...
When I grow up I want to be a cross between Audre Lorde and Richard Feynman.
