Transfem4Transfem Pride!

The lesbian imperative to recognize women’s role as men’s categorical other, to be that which is defined as everything he is not in order to make more real what he allegedly is, and to reject it in favor of centering other women, living with other women, loving other women in order to discover who we can be when we are not forced to consort and compromise with men is something at the core of lesbian ethics.

For trans lesbians, this must be taken a step further. We must acknowledge that cis women have taken us as their categorical other, using our bodies and our histories as a way to position us as probational or outright counterfeit women, so as that they may lay claim to some sort of naturalized and inherent concept of womanhood -- we are rendered fake so that they can claim to be real. 

Our presentation is measured by how well it mimics cis women’s, our politics are judged based on how well they benefit cis women, even the legitimacy of our very feelings hinge on the approval of cis women -- enough is enough.  

To quote Elena Rose, “We are not pieces of wholes thrown together incorrectly. We are not mistakes. We are not inferior knockoffs of someone else.” These words are as true now as they were when they were first written a decade ago. We are not confused men playing at being women, we are not merely imitations of cis women’s concept of womanhood, we are not simply lifetime drag queens.

We are called by the circumstances of the present to stand in opposition to the rise of fascism across the world, both out of ethical obligation and our own survival. However, if we keep trying to uncritically enter into coalition with cis women, we run the immense risk of being betrayed, abandoned, and taken advantage of, as our contemporary cis/trans woman alliances have demonstrated time and again.

Before we can start thinking about coalitional organization, we need to work to create a stronger bond of affinity amongst each other first. We must be able to operate in such a way as that, if one of us enters into coalitional work with cis women, they will not find themselves alone and isolated should they be abandoned by their cisters.

Furthermore, we need to be able to talk openly about what our shared experiences of gender actually are, rather than censor and alter them so that they can be submitted to the scrutiny of people whose primary goal is to find ways to prove that we are actually just men in disguise. We should be able to start from a place that says “we are not-men” and have that be a safe and acceptable place to begin our own narratives of transness.
