Women En Large

[bcholmes]

To-do: collect my thoughts in response to wild_irises' interesting topic over here.

I think I know what I think, I just need to toy with some words. What do you think? What should I think?

By the way: Women En Large is a beautiful book; grab a copy if you can.

A statement that is artistically catchy because of the shockingly-blunt detail loses its artistic appeal if many of the readers fixate on their objections to the detail. And I think that's definitely going to happen if she posts that paragraph by itself or in a small excerpt. I don't feel comfortable having an opinion on whether it's trans-friendly or how it should be, but my *artistic* opinion is that she should change it. And I should probably go give her that comment directly.

I posted my thoughts there, but they were similar to hobbitbabe's.

A very dear friend of mine is in that book. He's also in another of her books, Familiar Men.
