Centering less privileged survivors doesn’t invalidate one’s own sexual assault. McGowan can tell her story AND create a space for other survivors with oppressed identities to tell their stories as well. There is room for both!

You’re right. Trans women need to focus more on centering cishet white women. So those cishet white women can use their platform to punch down on trans women like Rose McGowan did. 👌 That makes perfect sense.
The white feminist fuckshits on Jez clearly don’t care about transphobia. And all of the sudden I don’t care about cishet white feminist problems anymore! See how that works? If you want an ally you have to be one. I’m done centering cishet white women. I’ll be over at The Root.
White feminism is fucked and I already knew that on an intellectual level which is why I try to call it out when I see it. However, as a white lgbt person I didn’t know how it FEELS for your community to be stepped on by white feminists so they can center themselves. And I think this is as close as I can get to that.…
America has lost $4.6 billion in tourism since Trump was elected.
The writing was so bad in this piece. I’m actually angry at Maureen Dowd right now. How dare she take this gift of an interview that Uma has given her and trascribe it so incoherently? Like Jesus, Uma even got you fucking car wreck footage! She brought you the receipts and this sloppy hack job is how you repay her? I…
I just wish she would apologize for saying that cishet white women face a statistically similar amount sexual and physical violence as trans women. But that Rose won’t apologize and that she is allowing TERFs and Right Wingers to flood her twitter with messages of support is telling.
What is truly disturbing is all of the white feminist Jezzies excusing her transphobia. I wasn’t expecting this at all. Apparently there are different rules for white feminist cishet rape survivors as far as punching down.
Yeah, I don’t care. I’m glad I started a free for all. At least I know who the white feminists on here are now. YOU BECKIES WILL NOT BE GETTING ANY DAMN STARS FROM NOW ON!
It’s nice to see where your priorities lie as well: with white cishet women who want to punch down. Ugh, I am not on Andi’s side. I am on my community’s side. And I was firmly on Rose’s side, as problematic as she has been, until she decided to punch down yet again.
“I’m not fan of the term oppression Olympics but I’ll be damned if some of you aren’t fighting for that gold medal.”
I’m halfway through her book and although there was child sex abuse in the cult, she says she wasn’t molested herself.
Rose said cis women and trans women experience a statistically similar amount of physical and sexual violence.
No. I don’t blame her for the way she feels about the industry and the people within it. From the way she describes it, it’s basically a rape factory.
1. It was a Q&A. Rose wasn’t interrupted.
Alyssa Milano
That video made it clear to me that she’s only concerned with centering her own oppression.
This isn’t the first time Rose has punched down at LGBT people. I was willing to ignore the things she has said and done in the past to my community because of the good she was doing now, but she clearly hasn’t changed. This is a list of all the shitty things she’s said about LGBT people: https://mobile.twitter.com/i…
While the white audience consoled Rose, two cis woc followed the trans activist out and consoled her. So there you go.
“Trans women are women, and what I’ve been trying to say is that it’s the same. The stats are not that dissimilar. When you break it down, it is a much smaller population. There’s not a network here devoted to your fucking death.”
