You cannot be “pro-LGB” and “anti-trans”. It’s an oxymoron.

What you are really saying is “I’m coming for the LGBs last”.

Anyone who has spent time seriously studying history knows what you are saying.

Most of us know the story of Ernst Röhm. For those who don’t know who Ernst Röhm was.

He was the flamboyantly gay founder of Hilter’s Brown Shirts. He was tolerated, Hitler even liked him. But it didn’t save him in the end.

He was killed in the Night of Long Knives. When the right wing of the Nazis did away with the

So.

I was called out a few days ago because my posts reflect the life of a white, cis passing trans man.

I cannot deny that I have some incredible privileges. I have been incredibly lucky. I also live in one of the best areas to be trans it.

I have always tried to be Up front and honest about the limitations of what I can address.

And I have also tried to be vocal about wanting to support my Black, Brown and Indigenous trans siblings.

If I see something I say something.

I will also say, I don’t ever want to speak for my other siblings.

A trans exclusionist in another thread is talking about her butch wife who wants thrift spaces.

That’s great for her. If she feels she would be more comfortable with a neutral option that is her right.

But forcing people into those third spaces because *you* find sharing space With them gross is bigotry.

There should be more bathrooms that accommodate families, or parents with children. That are accessible enough that people of all abilities can use.

And if some cis people feel more comfortable using them that is fine.

But creating these spaces

Transphobes have really done a great job convincing women trans people are the real dangers.

They have convinced “Women Rights Activists”, who have separated themselves from feminists, that to “protect” women we must strip them of bodily autonomy. And enforce strict definitions And requirements on who is allowed to be a woman.

And they have fancy misleading statistics that anyone literate in how to read them tells them those stats don’t support their claims.

But they can bludgeon trans people over the head with them and continue in their ignorance.

I just want to make this explicitly clear.

I try very hard to be anti racist. I do come from a very privileged background so im not always on top of everything.

I want to advocate for all my trans siblings no matter where on the color spectrum they maybe.

I encourage any of My followers to hold me accountable if I mess up.

I want my spaces to be inclusive of POC. And I hope I can prove myself an ally.

GCs and TERFs in my mentions- we don’t LITERALLY want you dead. We just support people who spout the same genocidal bullshit. Spout rhetoric that is indistinguishable from literal Nazis. We just support people who call for your public execution. Demonize your healthcare and any laws that are designed to make life any little bit easier for. And you should lose access to public spaces you have already been using for millennia. Because we just learned

To the trans holocaust denialists. Trans people were victims in the holocaust. It takes nothing away from the Jewish, Romani/ travellers, et al to recognize that.

At a Pride flag raising. And the City council is patting themselves on the back for having Pride flags and buildings being lite up in Pride colors. Then they talk about “symbolically” being with us.

You better fucking show up when push comes to shove. Because being symbolically With us is the lowest bar you can clear.

When I first started listening to the Queer discourse on Twitter I began to believe that as a gay trans man I was not welcome in the LGBTQ+ community. That I wasn’t wanted and that people thought I was pretending.

Since then, I have don’t more research into trans men and found Other gay trans men. I went to my local LGBTQ+ community center. And you know what?

The VAST majority of the LGBTQ+ DO see gay trans men and lesbian trans women as integral to this community.

Even on this hell site I have found far MORE cis LGB folks who support my inclusion.

What transphobes don’t realize is that trans people have historically been excellent at hiding. That is how we have managed to survive.

In the past, if you couldn’t pass you were often attacked and killed.

I have an older trans man friend who has told me it used to be that Trans men HAD to wear packers. It could be the difference between life and death if somebody clicked you.

I have never worn a packer consistently. I have been incredibly lucky to be able to choose if that was something I wanted to do.

The old lie that trans men are just lesbians really doesn’t work on me.

While I have never ruled out having a woman as a romantic partner, I am very much NOT sexually interested in women. I originally thought I couldn’t be trans because I was attracted to men. Thought they wouldn’t let me transition. And once upon a time, they wouldn’t have.
