Just a few things...

I'm not a commenter on the site mentioned, so I'm not about to make any judgements on whether its moderation is too draconian (but with the number of people complaining, I'd listen if I were a member of said blog), but the personal stuff makes me extremely uncomfortable. I'm not going to name names because all the info that's needed is already in the thread, and the "watchdog" site linked there is reblogging some of the comments. I'd rather not get directly involved, but there are a few things that have been bothering me since the thread blew up, and I'd like to address them:

".. stereotypes of gay men."

A problem

"her declaring she’s 'queer brained'"

Not sure this is a problem. Has she said she's straight? (A woman married to a man is not always a straight woman.) I agree it's clumsily put -- and any cis person calling herself a "woman trapped in the body of a gay man" is nothing short of problematic -- but trying to parse one's gender or sexuality sometimes can be clumsy. I'm not saying this doesn't make me cringe a little, but someone's gender or sexuality should be off limits for discussion. Even though it makes me cringe, it veers a little too closely to identity policing.

Why does [she] get criticized for this, but Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick didn’t? (Or, is it just that I’m too young to remember Kosofsky Sedgwick getting criticized for that?)

I briefly answered this, but I probably should have expanded on it. Sedgwick contributed to a lot to the study of "queer theory." I don't think she gets a pass for saying she identifies with gay men, but it's something that's been glossed over throughout the years. (It's in her book Tendencies, which is an much lighter read than the densely academic Epistemology of the Closet.) Sedgwick, as far as I know, was a cis woman, though one who came of age before"cis" and "trans" and "genderqueer" were familiar terms. She died five years ago, in her late-fifties. I often wonder, had she been part of a later generation of theorists, would she have called herself something other than cis? Coincidentally, writer Billy Martin (Poppy Z. Brite professionally) prior to transiting also called himself "gay male identified."

I don't have a problem with blogs whose sole existence is to criticize other blogs (how postmodern, though), but I'd rather see them limited to the way sites are run than deconstructing the blogger's sexuality.
