it is 2024,,,, can we finally put away the idea that any one group of trans people "has it easier" than any other group of trans people?
you'd really have to ignore large swaths of peoples' lived experiences to still be espousing this belief
who's lived experiences have you ignored to reach this conclusion, and why?
who are you helping?
we could really be doing so much more if trans people just,,, listened to one another without trying to frame everything through the lens of our own lived experiences first.
we have so much to gain from listening to one another and strengthening our mutual aid networks with our collective skills and knowledge. we could get collective political action going, create safety nets for trans people who have lost life-sustaining resources, provide emotional support for those going through a hard time (and we all are), etc.
seriously, i wish everyone could take a deep breath and keep in mind that we could have so much more safety, aid, understanding, theory, and rich life experiences if we were to listen and learn from one another without immediately getting defensive, judgemental, or hostile when our lived experiences clash with one another's worldviews
we deserve spaces where we are all seen, understood, and taken care of while we work toward a better world for all trans people
separatist movements have helped no one, and we all have so much to learn from truly listening to others who's lived experiences are wildly different from our own
