a transfem demands solidarity from her own community. she demands her comrades to understand and address the imbalances of privilege and power within her own community. a trans man tells her: "shut up, fed."
this is transmisogyny. this is why we need transfeminism. our comrades would rather shut us up, pretend our concerns aren't to be taken seriously, and bully us into silence than do the work to build solidarity with us.
because it's much easier to just silence the whiny transfeminist bitch than look in the mirror and check your privilege, acknowledge your power over us, adress your capacity for harm. it's much easier for queer tme people to pretend we're not to be taken seriously, because it allows them to keep pretending they're just harmless little smol beans with no power over us. this allows them to continue abusing that power over us unchecked.
I'm sick of this shit. take transfems seriously. take transfeminism seriously. if you actually care about us, if you actually see us as part of this community, if you actually want to build solidarity with us, you'd stop shutting us down, ignoring us, belittling us at every opportunity.
take transfeminism seriously or get fucked.
