why I support transgender people
Posted by Philomela on March 17, 2008
When transwomen stop committing or attempting to commit suicide, being murdered, loosing their homes, their jobs, their family, their friends, then we can talk about wether they have more privilege than cisgendered women.
Giving oppressed people a space to survive in is an act of political resistance to the status quo, to the capitalist patriarchy. We should be supporting transwomen not ostracising and othering them.
Where did the idea come from that transwomen can’t be radical feminists? who made that decision
Radical feminism is against upholding gender binaries. One of the rules of the bigendered system is that people are supposed to identify and live as their gender they were assigned at birth, transgender people don’t do that so how are they upholding the binary gender system again?
and for what its worth. I thought this post was pretty awesome
