I'm sorry I damaged your delicate sensibilities.

Lol? Like I said, to each their own. If you want to joke about the sex of kindergartners, have at it.
There is an air of arrogance from you
You know what I think is weird? Gender bending jokes about kindergartners. But to each their own.
I salute them for their bravery and quest for inclusion. As a man only carrying a metaphorical sandy vagina, I have always felt excluded by the Vagina monologues.YPSILANTI, MI - Eastern Michigan University's Women's Resource Center will no longer host productions of "The Vagina Monologues," noting that the play's version of feminism excludes some women.
The WRC announced its decision in an email, which came after the center evaluated responses from a survey. Survey respondents opposing the production consistently indicated they were concerned that the play centers on cisgender women, that the play's version of feminism excludes some women, including trans women, and that overall, "The Vagina Monologue" lacks diversity and inclusion.
According to the WRC, both brought up conflicting ideas and concerns about the effectiveness and relevance of "The Vagina Monologues," an episodic play written by activist Eve Ensler in 1994, offering a series of first-person narratives in which women speak about their vaginas.
"This created a need to ask the question: Do we still need 'The Vagina Monologues?' And, are 'The Vagina Monologues' still relevant to next generation feminists?" the email from the WRC says.

Right on sisters! , brothers or whatevers .
Who the hell wants to listen to women talk about their vaginas anyway?
Of course trans"women" should be excluded from vagina monologues; they don't have vaginas.
I watched a few minutes of it on YT. The whole thing is bizarre, she describes vaginas at some point (can't say I'm surprised) and gets multiple women to chant "cunt" for fun. There was segment with substance though, where she was talking about the systematic rape of women in the Bosnian war. It makes sense from the lens of a feminist that biological women were historically oppressed, there's no reason to extend your female problems-related activism to biological men. A transsexual during the Bosnian war for example would have just pretended to be a straight man, he would have never gone to a rape camp. You can cover up being gay or being transsexual, you can't cover up being a woman and being seen as an object of exploitation in war.
