I expect privilege.
I expect to be on guard for transphobic and transmisogynist comments, stories, and attitudes no matter where I am. I expect you to assume your space is different.

‘Transgender people need not apply’ at J. Crew says Make the Road New York advocacy group
Fuck you too, J. Crew.
Now I can stop biting my tongue around the FTMs who think J. Crew is classy and inexpensive (it is not)
I’m down with the boycott. The article — starting with the photo caption; “…a transgender that was refused work…” —...

It’s really unfortunate that apparently a disabled woman couldn’t be found to write a feature article about women with disabilities for International Women’s Day. It’s nice to see allies but it would be nicer to have my own voice instead of to have dudes speak for me.
OMG SERIOUSLY.

We’re all racist, white ladies and dudes. This isn’t, initially, our fault. Society is one racist mother fucker and we leech off its cultural teat from the day we’re born.
