The day the music died - by Julie Szego - Szego Unplugged

And then as the musician began to tell the women assembled for Women Out Loud about their journey out of womanhood, as if such a thing is a real thing, I … well, I lost it.

Started swearing.

I’d like to tell you I started swearing under my breath, but my voice is somewhat louder and less feminine than that of the talented non-woman female musician in Folk Bitch Trio, so such a statement is likely inaccurate. And as the audience generously applauded the non-binary non-woman on stage, applauded this person’s courage in telling their story of disavowing womanhood in front of thousands of women — from whom this female-born person is apparently a species entirely distinct — as the audience applauded — for that is what women do, they generously applaud, applaud even people who imply that ordinary woman-identifying women like them are docile slaves to an ancien régime — as everyone around me applauded, I sprang to my feet.
