this "article" perfectly performs the kind of transmisogyny hella non-binary ppl enact in the Bay against Black TW. ppl who r less marginalized claim they're being excluded from (often non-existent social spaces, like what trans (feminine) social space?) hunterthelion.medium.com/transness-does…
not being "validated" by other trans ppl (which almost always refers to trans women)--it's probably going to be the next official TERF dog whistle btw. is not & does not carry the same weight as the abject murderous state & private violence this "author" compares it to. GROSS!
it's so fucking gross to see someone use black trans women's abjection, murder, loss, lack of a social, lack of ability to (collectively grieve) our constant loss of a social, to complain about their gender expression not being "validated" by ppl who have no social power to do so
maybe ppl need to drop the language of "validation" & start thinking abt how identity as individual expression or individual possession is not & has rlly never been a sufficient precondition for community & in many cases is antithetical to the practice of community
dismissing the work/organizing & death that black trans women have done & experienced so you can fucking breath & create your fake-ass corporate woo hustle (like this person), as part of "the gender binary," is fucking gross, transmisogynst, anti-black, narcissistic nonsense
"the erasure & shrinking of nonbinary people is a result of antiblackness. The enemy is forever the global demand for Black death. And, everyone who is not nonbinary and outside of the binary perpetuates this killing and erasure of nonbinary identity, validity, & space-taking" 🤮
claiming "the gender binary" as an abstract & materially unmoored concept is anti-black/transphobic actually. do u mean prisons, the military--the things that enact gender violence/uphold the HIERARCHY that trans women DO NOT benefit from? is that what u mean w "gender binary"?!!
this is such a gross transmisogynst, neoliberal take. ppl rlly need to be more critical of how they wield their individual (gender/sexual identity) validation against wide-scale structural violence, otherwise your egoistic nonsense is just showing us u don't deserve community tbh
