One of the things about being in a minority is you are, well, a minority. Sometimes it can be difficult to find people who share your experiences and position. This is certainly so for trans people.
Enter the internet. Someone pointed me to the Questioning Transphobia blog, and I spent several hours following links, being exposed to ideas I hadn’t come across before, being further radicalised in my trans feminism…
The post trail led me to one on the blog Taking Up Too Much Space that I want to link particularly: Put the Goddamn Space in: “transwoman” “transfeminism” “transmasculine” etc (language politics #1). Wow. this one just made me stop, think, reasses and feel empowered.
I’m off to do more reading now and to stoke up the fires of my pride and outrage.
