Honestly, the droves of men demanding evidence that has been provided over and over again for years who appear in my mentions every time I criticize the only reasonable man - Jesse Singal - are more exhausting than the people who just call me a man.

This is how people from marginalized groups are silenced in the modern era. If trans voices were given the same weight as cis voices, it would be enough for us to say that this man creeps us out with his obsession and harassment. You’d trust that we know what we’re talking about.

But instead, a mob appears asking for evidence they’ll never read by which they’ll never be satisfied. The message is clear: don’t complain about this man who has built a career on skepticism about your equal rights, or you’ll be pulled into an exhausting battle.

There’s an easy solution to this: stop letting cis men build careers writing about trans people. It’s not normal to be so obsessed with us. Usually cis men obsessed with trans women either want to fuck us or want to be us, and they project their psycho-drama all over our lives.

They get paid for their uninformed curiosity and we’re left picking up the pieces and defending our right to exist.
