Also, perhaps, have we considered that it's actually really bad that we treat closeted trans women (and closeted nonbinary people, and frankly cis men too) this way? Like. It's a bad thing that trans women are treated like distrustful monsters for """"being men"""" before coming out by one demographic and then are also treated like distrustful monsters after coming out for being trans by another. That's not a sign of a culture with a healthy relationship with gender in the slightest!!!
Have we considered that treating people as inherently dangerous or distrustful by virtue of their gender alone is in fact, the very gender essentialism that perpetuates radical feminism in our spaces and that is something that we should be working on stamping out?
I am genuinely sorry that people across multiple different identity lines experience this shit because no trans person should be treated like a distrustful monster just by virtue of their gender identity before or after coming out.
*extends my hand* Let's examine the ways we allow gender essentialism to invade our spaces and harm other trans people and put an end to this cycle of gender essentialist abuse together!
This one goes out especially to my fellow Midwesterners:
The Midwest Immigration Bond Fund, which pays immigrant bond fees to get people out of ICE Custody, has run so low on funds they've had to put a hold on their work. They have a donor matching funds through $50,000 or until August 21st, so please consider throwing a few bucks their way and telling your networks.
I had to have someone tell me that I can’t keep sending gift baskets as a panic response
I once sent someone a basket of treats and beer in the winter, but it was below freezing and the bottles exploded into shards of glass in their doorway
