Dear Cissexism,

You are terrible and you make the world more terrible.

Anonymous asked: Thank you thank you thank you for this great blog. I'm learning so much and am looking forward to linking people to this blog when they're being generally clueless, so they can also learn. Quick question, if it's not too much trouble: is there a good symbol or name for the struggle against oppressive gender roles? Feminism is personally important to me, but I'm unhappy with how cissexist (not to mention excluding to basically all but one kind of person) it often is.

So you mean a label like “feminist” but that isn’t “feminist”?

The only ones I’ve heard have been “anti-” labels. Anti-patriarchy, anti-kyriarchy, anti-binarism.

If our followers can help this lovely person out?

(And, please note, that the feminist movement is notorious for being racist, classist, cissexist, transmisogynistic, erasing, and generally very terrible.)
