In defense of the sanctimonious women's studies set || First feminist blog on the internet

Greetings!

Hello, ducks!* I’m C. L. Minou, and I’m ecstatic to be a guest blogger here on Feministe.

To get the usual descriptives out of the way: I’m white, almost 40, TAB, and (the rumors** were true!) a trans woman. I like post-scarcity anarcho-socialist fiction***, feminist science fiction, and thoughtfully analyzing the kyriarchy through the medium of devastating post-modernist critiques of popular entertainment.

I have a blog, The Second Awakening, which is somewhat zombified right now, and I’ve blogged in the past for Tiger Beatdown and Shakesville, as well as at the Guardian’s lovely web digs. I live in New York with my beautiful and wonderful fiancée (editor nonpareil!) and our too-smart-for-their-own-good cats.

In my time here I plan to write about trans issues, feminist issues, and the intersection of the two, my own particular hobbyhorse.

* Fans of my blog know I use “ducks” inclusively here, so all warterborne avians–and people, for that matter–are referenced.

** Not really rumors.

*** Yes, Ian M. Banks. And a few others. But mostly Banks.

  1. Yay Iain M Banks!! Also a favourite author of mine… Any chance of some musings on his work?

    Looking forward to reading your posts 🙂

  2. I’ve been reading your writing forever, brilliant!

    Also, I love the name Minou. It was my “French” name in high school French Class, and I think it is a word they use to call kitties?

  3. Yay! Welcome! The next two weeks are going to be SO AWESOME- first Captain Awkward, and now you! Please to be discussing feminist sci fi at some point?

  4. Well, hello there, CL. Long time no see/speak/hear. How’ve you been? I thought you had entirely vanished from the face of the earth! (Then again, you may have thought the same of me.)

    It’s nice to see someone trans finally blogging here, especially you.

    Donna
