Leslie Feinberg on trans exclusion in feminist spaces.

“We’re in danger of losing what the entire second wave of feminism, what the entire second wave of women’s liberation was built on, and that was ‘Biology is not destiny’. ‘One is not born a woman,’ Simone de Beauvoir said, ‘one becomes one’. Now there’s some place where transsexual women and other women intersect. Biological determinism has been used for centuries as a weapon against women, in order to justify a second-class and oppressed status. How on Earth, then, are you going to pick up the weapon of biological determinism and use it to liberate yourself? It’s a reactionary tool.”

CBC/TSN coverage of Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir winning their first and last Canadian National titles:

2008 — “They’re the talk of the town, and they’re the talk of this country when it comes to ice dance. In fact, they’re really the talk internationally because they’ve been like rockets.”

Happy 28th Birthday Tessa! ❤ (May 17th 1989)
