transfemcore:

despite all the deceit and distraction people make out of it… the kind of transmisogynistic reactionary ideologies that many people have.. does definitely have negative consequences for all lgbt+ people, including cis lg people.

a lot of people will often pretend that their ideology is about the preserving of cis lg people.. but imo, the way people stigmatise epicene or androgynous traits, or things that break off from straight or cis norms…

has rarely distinguisher on a societal level for who it fucks over. by this i mean.. if you antagonise people for dressing in ways that do not conform to what gender they are perceived as by people in general..

then that antagonism will have consequences that will not distinguish between various lgbt+ people.

to put it simply… your transphobia will hurt cis lgb people too, as a lot of aspects of cissexism manifests in similar ways to heterosexism.

and i feel it does not really help that these reactionaries often align themselves with the kind of crowd that would support conversion therapy, sodomy laws, and any laws that discriminate against The Queers..

let’s be real here.. if you fail to be intersectional and inclusive of all lgbt+ people, you’re not really helping any of us… and you’re probably just contributing to stigma and oppression by antagonising us.
