"Enough is enough. Transfems are not second-class women or quasi-men. We are not your servants. We are not your tokens. We are not expendable. We do not have to be nice and meek."
We wrote this up awhile back, but due to certain turns in the discourse (not here, fortunately) and the fact that this remains a massive goddamn problem even in queer spaces it's worth sharing again. It applies well outside of Asheville, ofc, though this town has a particularly bad case of this particular bigotry.
I hope the slideshow and the attached resources are useful. It's definitely due an expanded version at some point but we've all got a ton of work because, well, trans and poor.
