One feminist psychological definition of objectification is the combination of 1) extra scrutiny of women, leading to the 2) breaking down of visualizing women into discrete body parts, which 3) leads to mentally processing them more as a collection of organized objects than people.

I think it’s clear that trans women not only receive this sort of treatment from society (being explicitly broken down into body parts [β€˜sorry abt your dick’]), but also that people who pride themselves on subjecting trans women to extreme scrutiny in order to pick apart their individualized body parts to ascertain their assigned sex are enacting the exact definition of patriarchal and misogynist objectification

So you use the word β€œpsychological” and think it’s enough to be tagged under psychology? I don’t see any psychology here.

Pdf version that explains the first paragraph of theory here, Study summary here. Sorry since ya know this is on my personal tumblr blog and I was on my phone, I don’t usually have footnotes to my thought processes.

But also I feel like you have no right to be condescending about psychology when this

is yr bio? Good luck on being both ill informed and a bitch tho

Filmmaker Lilly Wachowski Painted Portraits Of The 27 Trans People Murdered In 2016

transitiontransmission:

Filmmaker Lilly Wachowski (The Matrix, Sense8) has painted portraits of the 27 trans people known to be murder victims in the U.S. in 2016, for an art exhibit at Chicago’s Center on Halstead. All of the brightly-colored portraits in β€œSay Our Names” incorporate the colors of the trans flag and are based on photos of the victims.

She began painting them last July, she says, as β€œan outlet of the overwhelming emotion I was feeling in the relentless waves of mortal acts of violence against trans people.”
