Liberal trans women… stop. Radicalize. c’mon. We ain’t going nowhere by praising Laverne, Caitlynn, Manning, etc.

Celebrities help but tbh, the last three examples are kind of a poor element to pick from. Chelsea did suffer a lot for exposing war crimes (something she shouldnt have been arrested for, she was doing good). Laverne is just bathing in money by tokenizing herself and selling out. She’s an amazing actress, but she’s a capitalist after all. Caitlynn, well. She’s anti gay marriage and supports Trump, what else can I say.

Laura Jane Grace is a great icon, but as much as I love her, we have to stop idolizing trans women. I know, i feel so connected too, but it keeps pushing the idea of “oh trans people = money” by corporations, networks and the rest.

Look at pride for fucks sake. It started as a riot, expanded as a parade of celebration; and now it has fucking sponsors like banks, law firms, etc. By not radicalizing, we let the system use our identities as merchandise for the curious. Or in the other spectrum, to cause outcry therefore making more money.

Same goes to pop feminism. Fuck Hillary (Warmongerer), Fuck all the “feminist” actresses promoting non intersectional feminism (and being terfy at times). That’s how we get Laci Green’s.

LIBERALISM ALLOWS FASCISM AND IMPERIALISM TO SPREAD.

Get fucking Laverne, Chelsea, and Laura’s names out of your mouth, and dont you dare compare them to laci green, caitlyn jenner, or hillary. Like, in what universe does this make sense???

Look, you don’t seem like a bad person. Your heart is in the right place even if your head is up your ass. But you need to understand that accusing everyone of being liberals with…seemingly no sense behind it.

“we have to stop idolizing trans women“ isn’t something who’s actually thought about their stance could write… capitalist trans women maybe but you’ve still put a republican trump supporter on a list with an openly socialist whistle blower.

and even then, are Laverne Cox and LJG capitalists for appearing in a TV show and making music respectively? Neither of them have ‘sold out’ or whatever you’re accusing them of. You’re acting like the more radical option is for trans women to stay completely invisible and not appear in media. you’re acting like those two are capitalist sell-outs for just having jobs. fuck “bathing in money” i haven’t seen Laverne in a second role? do you think it would be more radical if there were no succesful trans women? would it be better if you couldn’t name any of us that aren’t in poverty?

Transmysoginy? lol. critiquing someone for their actions is now bigotted.

I’m a trans woman. I am in no point being transmysoginist. get your terminologies straight. I’m making a remark on the actions of such trans public people.

and could everyone stop saying I said shit about Laura? All I do is praise her for the work she’s done. For fuck’s sake. She hasnt sold out, well the band did for a while when they were on Warner Brothers but the bands gone back to their punk roots. So stop putting words in my text that arent there.

this is still textbook transmisogyny though. you said straight up ‘stop idolizing trans women’ like, regardless of their political ideology or anything. you can understand how someone might interpret that as, a statement harmful to trans women.

apparently you’re calling chelsea a capitalist and , just as bad as the miliatary she committed treason against so like…. you’re being wilfully ignorant at this point she’s against capitalism and the military industrial complex it’s right on her twitter? you get that assuming a bunch of trans women are liberal scum despite their actual views. it’s bad right. like even from another trans woman, it’s pretty suspect.
