that's nice -- in fact that's great, and the relative dearth of femslash and femslash writers when there is such an overabundance of writers willing to write and read and defend the sanctity any story about two guys with cocks is what prompted my post. but i'm not sure how i was supposed to glean that fact from a comment where you stated, "I write male characters who are me. It is drag." which is not something i am interested in reading, most especially in the middle of this discussion where i've been detailing why i find the slash = drag comparison to be reductive, ridiculous, and offensive.
I would like to discuss further with you, but I am not sure you are going to be discursive-- it looks like you are in a ranting mood here, by the way you have attacked my statements.
i have little patience for statements which imply that women's or trans people's bodies are "biologically" or in any intrinsic way "inferior" to a cis man's, and i don't see why saying so in any way erases your own life experiences. like i said, if that's not what you meant to say, you should reconsider your wording, because that's sure what it sounded like to me. if it was, then i stand by my own words.
