#like you can combat transphobia *without* relying on the idea that minorities (racial/ablility/ect) are uniquely predisposed to transphobia

[uncanny-tranny]

One thing that kinda bothers me is when people are... surprised that other minorities tend to support trans folk more non-minority folk

To me, it plays off this idea that minorities are so "far behind" that they can hardly accept queer people, much less trans ones. It reads as very gross to me, y'know?

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #or when people argue that minorities canNOT support trans folk because [insert BS reason] #like trans people of ALL othef minority status don't exist suddenly?? #there aren't Black trans people? no trans muslims or jews? or asian trans people? middle eastern ones? come on now #like you can combat transphobia *without* relying on the idea that minorities (racial/ablility/ect) are uniquely predisposed to transphobia #it's actually very easy not to rely on racist and whatnot ideas of essentialism to combat transphobia #what makes a transphobe a transphobe is that they are transphobic NOT that they are x or y or z #and i find that the people *shocked* that x group isn't transphobic are often transphobic THEMSELVES #it seems like people just tell on themselves i think #rascism #racism tw #(just because there are heavy implications of that) #might have talked about this before but. fuck it we ball
