I mean, I’m trans myself, so I well aware how hard it is to get our voices heard... for the most part we’re invisible within feminism, except when cis feminists can use our suffering for their own purposes, or to lecture us about the male privilege that we supposedly grew up with. It’s one of the reasons for my…

You’d be surprised how much “bad” behavior people are willing to tolerate from a white woman if her suffering and victimhood are up to snuff in their eyes... the flip side of being considered weak and delicate. Something that also instantly disappears once they find out you’re trans.

Well I meant more specifically Milano herself, if she’s married to a CAA agent. I don’t think that necessarily indicts either of them as being complicit, but I could understand if Rose feels that way.

Oh. I never would have guessed that in a million years. But if what she’s saying about the CAA then I can’t say it’s surprising that she feels that way.

And where would that be?

Ouch. Welp I guess I have to take back at least the part about the transphobia because it seems pretty obvious that she doesn’t think too highly of us. But I think I still stand by most of the rest of what I said.

I mean the stats are different, and maybe Rose hasn’t done anything for trans women, but honestly? I think it was a dumb thing to do, and I kind of almost side with Rose on this one.

Well when I came out and started transitioning back in college a decade (oh god) ago, “safe space” had a very specific meaning. Like, my school’s LGBT Center was a safe space, and all it meant was that there was a place other than my dorm room where I could go without having to worry about getting stared at or called…

She’s a white man in feminist’s clothing.

Unfortunately, as much as her brand of feminism has fallen out of fashion, so many young feminists find it necessary to put these fuddy duddies on a pedestal and constantly make excuses for their awful behavior.

White people, I know you’re desperate for a celebrity trans friend. But please, for the love of God:

Yeah. I mean it’s valid at times, but far too many White Feminists need to be only mildly inconvenienced before they’ll declare a mistrial and start quoting some form of this sentiment.

White feminism is Becky getting super pumped about discussing and analyzing the issues that oppress her, and then, when it comes time to critiquing and analyzing her own privilege, turning around and treating the rest of our concerns in the same entitled, dismissive manner that men treat feminism.

There are also cis women who are drag queens, sometimes referred to as bio queens, or simple “female drag queens.” Because the essence of drag is in the performance aspect of it. We tend to think of drag as “men dressing up like women” where in reality, the actual presentation involved is so far outside of ‘normal’…

At this point I’ll just be happy if we don’t have to revisit last year’s nontroversy of whether the pussy hats are transphobic because some clueless cis person trying to be the Wokest Person Ever decides to pen a stupid think piece. Because trans women will get blamed for it no matter who started it, as per usual.

Yeah it’s a problem for all of us in general, but for these kinds of “enhancements” it particularly affects trans women of color. Both because they’re usually less financially well-off to afford the proper thing, and also because of the greater emphasis on an ample booty for black women (we trans Beckys can get away…

Garner was initially identified as a woman after her arrest, but her attorney confirmed she was born Morris Garner and had undergone sex reassignment surgery.

As a trans woman, I’m already 100% done with this. It’s a foolish publicity stunt that will do nothing but possibly weaken an actual good Democratic senator and unleash a resurgent transphobic backlash for people who cannot (and do not want to) separate her identity stuff from her past transgressions. Made worse by…

I’m surprised you don’t take issue with the “fag” part of that.

Yeah so do I. But then how many of these big name, suddenly woke #MeToo actresses have worked in Woody Allen films despite the allegations that have been around since forever?
