On Transgender Demands and Other “Hysteria”

I’m in the throes of perimenopause, and I’ve gotten up at 1am to write this after being awoken by night sweats. I’m also a transmasculine person and a feminist, and a staff member at McGill University, though I’m writing this piece in a personal not professional capacity. I wasn’t at last week’s protest at New Chancellor Day Hall, but I wish I could have been. I’m putting all of this up front so that you can stop reading now if you’re not in the mood to hear from someone who is “hysterical.”

 

Metonymy stands in solidarity with Canada Post workers on strike! Find out the latest news and ways to show your support via the union's website.

Throughout the duration of the strike, we will not be shipping orders that would otherwise be transported by Canada Post. That means any web orders to addresses within Canada, but off the island of Montreal, will be on hold until the strike ends. We will continue to ship to addresses in the United States as well as offer local pickup and delivery for Montreal orders.

We thank you for your patience and understanding.
