With the greatest respect, Z Budapest, the Goddess made sexual diversity. She made it in the same playful, creative spirit in which she set off the Cambrian explosion. Why would a Goddess who could cook up ciswomen, transwomen, intersex women, genderqueer women, straight women, bi women, gay women, asexual women, fertile women, infertile women, girls who become boys at puberty - the list goes on - want us to throw some of the flowers out of that bouquet?

If there was some sort of history of transwomen disrupting "women-only" events - through their own actions, not just by being there - I could understand this insistence on excluding them. As it is, it seems more like a canon argument: arbitrary and ultimately pointless. The definitions you offer, Z - ovaries, womb, menstruation - don't apply to hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of "women-born women".

Chances are I'll never find myself invited into an event from which transwomen are barred. If I ever do, for the duration of that event, you may consider me a man.

She changes the left side into the right side, she changes the right side into the left side, she turns a man into a woman, she turns a woman into a man. She changes everything she touches, and everything she touches changes.

yeah, i followed the whole thing, on account that some of the blog circles i read were going a bit "bzzuuh?" at her. she really should know better, and honestly, it'd be just LIKE the goddess to stir the pot and make her and everyone else THINK about these things just like this. i'd say that ritual was successful. ;)
