Watching We Are Lady Parts, I wast trying to decide if I was Saira--a glorious and combustible concoction of tattoos, rage, and fuck you’s--or Ayesha--a glorious cocktail of eyeliner, rage, and fuck you’s.
I decided I did not have to choose because each of my life stages found herself reflected in We Are Lady Parts: be it my days in hijab, my foul mouth, or my tattoos and eyeliner. I did keep yelling "Where was this show 30 years ago?!" feministgiant.com/p/too-loud-swe… #WeAreLadyParts
One of the reasons I started FEMINIST GIANT was so that I can write what I want--essays about Muslim women punks as well as about being childfree by choice--and how I want--fuck you's and all!

And too often, we exhaust our voices defending our men from what white people say about them.

To have had a TV show like We Are Lady Parts while I was in my 20s, would have freed up so much of my cosmic energy, I might have truly taken over the world. My new words 👇🏽#WeAreLadyParts
To be a Muslim woman is to stand in the middle of a see-saw, saying fuck you to racist Islamophobes on one hand and misogynists in the community on the other, all while trying not to fall off.
#WeAreLadyParts has jumped off the see-saw altogether. feministgiant.com/p/too-loud-swe…
