People ask us all the time, omg, why do you have to make *everything* all about the trans?
The answer is this: we're not doing it even half enough as well as they are. We're not anticipating their infinite capacity to shoehorn men into the middle of every woman's issue.

In fact, we need to get better at this.
An event, a heart dropping event happens to a woman, and we respond as women, and in our grief and naiveté we don't even begin to contemplate that there could be a group so cynical and exploitative to make the death of a woman about men.

Who would want to even go there mentally? I don't blame us. It's the most reprehensible reaction. I don't even want to consider it.
But that's what they do.
A woman is murdered.
And they immediately force a vigil to be also about men.
They make the fundraiser also about men.

They appoint spokeswomen - the right kind, for optics, obviously, ready to talk about the men.
I shouldn't be so appalled. Of course they would do this. Grief is exploitatable.
Everything about women is exploitatable. Everything for our sex, about our sex, is an opportunity.

Anticipate.
None of us want to think that anyone could be so exploitative as to make the murder of a woman, and women's grief and anger about how men can benefit. We don't want to go to that dark place.
But we're going to need to.
