Feminism is for Everyone

bell hooksI have another article up on the Bristol 24/7 website. Last week we ran a comment piece that was what people on the Internet tend to refer to as “white woman’s tears”. So I got a bit annoyed, and this is the result. As usual, help with the traffic is much appreciated. I suspect that I may get a bit of a kicking, because that always tends to happen when you talk about being trans in a very public space. But you never know, Bristol might surprise me.

Anyway, the point remains: feminism is for everyone, whether they are white, black, lesbian, Muslim, disabled, or even male. I’m pleased to have an article of mine that is headed by a photo of bell hooks. And yes, I do know that she doesn’t capitalize her name. My editor has kindly “corrected” it for me.

One thought on “Feminism is for Everyone

  1. Hi Cheryl,
    I’m just the standard CIS white female, but I don’t like discrimination, period. I’ve felt it’s sting – I was told to become a nurse because I test strongly in STEM, if I had been a boy, the options would have been scientist, archetect, engineer… And I have seen opportunities denied to others. We all need to fight it together. And I’ve got your back, because yes, includes people like you. Love you, Lady.
