For those who may believe trans women’s hyper visibility is in any way a benefit or a privilege; many of these anti-trans bills very specifically legislate against trans women. Being made into a cultural bogeyman is in no way a privilege.
These bills will be weaponized to hurt all trans people (and cis people as well), make no mistake. But the face that transphobes put on the “trans issue” is the face of a trans woman. We, as a broader community, need to do more to #ProtectTransWomen.
I don’t personally talk a lot about trans feminine people or trans women not because their experiences aren’t important or relevant to trans discussion, but because I am not a transfemme and the last thing they need is to be spoken over about their own experiences.
I do my best to use this platform, however, to support, amplify and advocate for trans women and transfeminine people. Their thoughts about their lived experiences will always be more valuable than my assumptions about their lived experiences.
