Love and solidarity with all who’ve sent me support and all who’ve been fighting mostly white British transphobes who have been embarrassing themselves in my mentions for 3 days because I support trans and non-binary rights and because I insist feminism must be intersectional.

If you’ve followed me for a while you know I’m attacked by a new flavour of fuckery every other week-from Saudi & Egyptian regime trolls to white Australian misogynists to racists to Islamophobes & now making proud entrance as flavour of the week fuckery:white British “feminists”

These transphobes - vile, pathetic and poorly disguised racists - are exactly why “white feminism” is deservedly derided. They insist on centering themselves and insist that feminism revolve around the misogyny that touches only their lives. And fuck anyone else.

Those transphobes are so narcissistic & white-centered that they refuse to see that for the rest of us - THE MAJORITY - feminism MUST patriarchy and its attendant oppressions, such as racism, transphobia, classism, ableism, all bigotry.

I have skin of titanium. The drivel of deranged white British feminists is a palate cleanser for me.

I am cis. Imagine how their hate and bigotry normalizes violence against the trans, non-binary & gender diverse communities.

Transphobes are dangerous.

They are one of the reasons white feminism is failing & must be abandoned.

The life expectancy of a Black trans woman in the US is 35. Unconscionable.

Fuck those transphobes. Fuck the patriarchy & its oppressions.

Love and solidarity with the trans & non-binary communities.

I want to end this with a laugh at these deranged transphobes who deserve derision: this one called me Aunt Lydia and then blocked me 😂🤣 that should give an idea of what they represent. Thank you @rozietoez for pointing out the absurdity.

As those white British transphobes embarrass themselves in my mentions,remember global movements that recognize trans rights as part of feminism. #FF @Iranti which I learned about during my visit to South Africa & which defends rights of lesbians,intersex & trans people in Africa
