It's the non-trans men who don't (for the most part).<BR/><BR/>p.p.s.

The Hong & Rivera article that you linked to really emphasizes unlearning and creating your own path. Whether you're poly or not, a right on, inspiring article to live your life with authenticity & integrity to yourself & others. thanks for sharing to Gina & you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04211501705251888775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8756555647206668344.post-6547579487668295302008-12-10T16:31:00.000-08:002008-12-10T16:31:00.000-08:00Gina!

Transmen too! <BR/><BR/><B>Michelle,</B> again your words are so on point! I am with you on your reflections of supportive community, the transformative power of playing with power, and the transformative roles of authenticity. I'm tellin you, i am still waiting for <I>your</I> blog! <BR/><BR/>You also named the cultural Catch 22... living in a culture that is basically body-phobic and body-exploitative at the same time. I mean, every curse word in the US has to do with a body part or bodily action. Meanwhile women and people of color's bodies are hyper-sexualized/exotified (Well, men's bodies too, but more so in a queer context), and queer bodies and sexuality are vilified (or exotified!). It is a challenge to feel positive about our bodies and sexualities, so much unlearning has to be done, so much self-acceptance and healing, in the face of adherents to a heteronormative, sexist, racist, monogamy-supremacist, body-phobic, body-objectifying culture.<BR/><BR/>Revolution Starts At Home!

So I love the idea of supporting each other to create, foster, explore it! I think, as you suggest, exploring power dynamics in intimate relationships can have a transformative effect on all aspects of our lives--as these dynamics are not compartmentalized. Also, being able to be your most authentic in an intimate relationship--which in some ways is the scariest place to be authentic--can be self-affirming & transformative. Although I would say, I don't think one needs a romantic relationship to have these experiences. But it can be a (fun, sexy, blessedly good) opportunity. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04211501705251888775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8756555647206668344.post-73160938181370655442008-12-10T06:36:00.000-08:002008-12-10T06:36:00.000-08:00Word!

As you know, I am all about sex-positivity. :) Now, if only more hetero (non-trans) men would discover how to simultaneously be a feminist AND be a top AND be emotionally vulnerable....<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this post, Richard.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03496673659922361605noreply@blogger.com
