you should care more about transfems that are antagonized by the first world

yes chinese transfems too

yes russian transfems too

yes iranian transfems too

yes transfems from latam too

yes whatever "one of the evil ones from an evil country" transfem you have in your head - her too

you should care so much more about transfems that don't speak english as a first language

you should show so much more sympathy to transfems speaking english worse than you would like her to, who cannot phrase herself in english well

you should care so much about a transfem choosing to go to an english dominated transmisogynistic website and talk about her experience and what she thinks and what she has to say, especially if it's in english for YOU to digest it

you ALL should care SO MUCH MORE than you currently do

instead of "why do people not find non-fluent english endearing" ask these:

1) why do people have to learn another language to access a platform with global pop culture significance? why is it english specifically?

2) are our voices heard when we don't speak english? (paraphrasing: would you ever see this post if it wasn't in english?)

3) is "taking guts" to speak english expected or even enforced? are english speakers expected or enforced to "take guts" to speak mandarin, farsi, spanish, portuguese, etc? if so, could this be that those places are local and specific for speakers of your target language, rather than global?

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.
