That and the whiteness of the movement are why I haven't gotten into it more, despite loving the movement. The only actively transphobic thing I can find evidence of Kathleen Hanna participating in is when Le Tigre played Michfest, which obviously is a pretty big deal, but Hanna has been gradually separating herself from those aspects. Direct quote: “I’ll cut to the chase: I do believe transwomen are real women, I don’t prescribe to outdated essentialist notions of gender–that just isn’t what I am about.” But yeah, I'll definitely add something there, thanks for pulling me up on it.<br />I couldn't pick a single Beyonce song which is why I linked to the playlist at the end!
