Prejudice against transmen, that's me, is based on the sense that we're trying to muscle in on the privilege of being male that we don't deserve, we are inadequate, we don't have penises, and if we do, they're either weird and tiny or crap.* We're inadequate men, with big bums and crap willies.
* Prejudice against transwomen is based on the sense that they're degrading themselves, they're funny, a joke, why would you want to be a woman? They're trying to take a step down in society. * So transphobia is rooted in sexism.* Some people believe that transwomen can't possibly know what it's like to be a woman because they haven't experienced sexism.* But the transphobia that transwoman get IS sexism, multiplied by a hundred! * Some people say that trans men are just trying to escape sexism by turning into men.* Let me tell you, when you're a transexual, you do not escape sexism, you are pushed right into an enormous swamp of sexism.* When you experience both sides and more, you begin to see the sexism, you notice it when other people don't, when you play with gender you're witnessing the flow of power. |
