On the FB, there's a renewed discussion of men-who-call-themselves-feminist and whether we should call ourselves something else. I think it's because a bunch of fake-seeming bros are now sort of predatorily calling themselves feminist, but as with all movements and generalizations, it catches those of us with more profound investments up in it too. I'm not offended that I may need to change self-labeling. But do I? To what? FYI: I am trans/intersex.

@3goliad Yes. I totally agree with that, and I don't often self-identify. I think most often the urge to self-identify/self-label is when I'm participating in discourse where my investment/experience in feminist activism is trivially dismissed but where it seems like an important factor.
