I am willing to be interviewed for such a purpose if you're interested, though I have no idea if this is a suitable place for me to communicate this intent.

Give trans* people equal rights already by nycindie http://damek.org/2011/06/30/2-destroy-marriage-3-give-trans-people-equal-rights-already/comment-page-1/#comment-25301 nycindie Mon, 11 Jul 2011 19:23:11 +0000 http://damek.org/?p=1773#comment-25301 Oh, I really wanted to attend that OLNY meeting but had another commitment. It's good to read a bit of your perspective on that. I enjoyed reading this post; it points out clearly the problems with society's expectations of monogamy, without demonizing monogamy as some of teh more radical polyfolk are wont to do. I especially like this: ". . . monogamy is similar to patriarchy in its insidious construction of privilege and hierarchy, and just as in feminism, the goal should not be assimilation into privilege, but the removal of privilege in the service of equality and liberty." I have often thought this way about the gay marriage issue. My answer would be not to let gay people marry but to take away marriage as a legal act from straight people. That way, <em>everyone</em> who wants a legal contract can have a civil union. Let the religious institutions be the ones that grant marriages, and they of course will do that according to the tenets of the church or institution. I hadn't thought of this as "removal of privilege," but it is. Thanks for your insight! Oh, I really wanted to attend that OLNY meeting but had another commitment.
