Not to do the thing but same thing goes for trans women. Hard line to walk between solidarity and letting ppl have their moment without speaking over them

Consider intersectionality tho, being also trans, transfems have experienced many forms of similar oppression that transmascs have. At the same time, both idenities also have more unique experiences with oppression, but because misogyny is the root of transphobia, transmasc experiences are minimized while transfems are over targeted. Thus transfems tend to seek solidarity and safety, and transmascs seek visibility and recognition

Tbh trans women are often inserting themselves in places and conversations that are not even about them, then they center themselves. I’ve noticed this as a lesbian too. It’s always about them.

Part of intersectionality is stepping back to examine the unique forms of discrimination and privilege people face as a result of their social and political identities. Intersectionality is quite literally all about NOT lumping identities together and recognizing that people have DIFFERENT experiences with discrimination. Trans women and trans men absolutely both deal with misogyny and transphobia, but that doesn’t mean their experiences need to be compared to each other and lumped together.

transmisogyny and anti-transmasculinity are both oppressive forces it’s important to acknowledge, intersectionality means recognizing the specific ways that oppression is specific to an individual’s collection of traits. it’s not just a model of compounding oppression (such as in the initial framework, one is not oppressed as black and as a woman and a gay person, but as a black lesbian woman). there are both shared experiences of transphobia and misogyny, and points of divergence.

I didn’t accuse anyone of anything, and it’s literally every single comment. “I’m a trans woman and same here” like no. It’s not the same. And they are blatantly oblivious they they’re doing the SAME shit that OP was talking about. The irony.

I can read just fine. My eyesight is another story. And why are YOU all mad? I was trying to point something out that was your point. But like whatever, you just seem to want to create enemies and be inviting and rude.

You took a rather extreme version of the point I was trying to make. I was expressing frustration at the fact that trans men and trans women are unable to speak on their experiences without being lumped into the same category based solely on their transness, you took the stance that most trans women are forcefully centering themselves in queer spaces while harming those around them. I do not agree with you. Sorry.
