I’m a survivor. I’m pro trans rights. Not mutually exclusive.

Don’t interact. Just know that trauma being used in this way does nothing to help us.

We have had pain inflicted onto us by men, this is true. To decide revenge on innocent trans women is an eye for eye

It is not ok https://twitter.com/annerichardyork/status/1305961716887547906
It’s not justice, it’s blind revenge. Essentially vigilantism.

We attack institutionalised and systematic oppression, in order to prevent further harm. Gender criticals rarely speak of justice, it’s always so visceral.

Yet the stats tell us trans women are not the danger.
This isn’t about my past pain, nor yours. It’s about future pain. Whether by lack of rights & provisions, or something more terrifying. And done onto people with no skin in the game.

Trans women are less likely to abuse, to try and active my trauma & pain like this disgusts me
If this was about going after men in power, the people who can actually be stopped and stop others then maybe, maybe use me. But as it stands- this is closer to grooming than it is any real activism.

To sought vulnerable women and to use them in this way- it’s in itself abusive
Is in itself*
Want to stop rape, grooming, abuse? Then hire and elect more women who will speak out. Challenge those in charge without attacking innocent people.
But yeah, going to be harder for p*sie parker to get her alt right Christian bucks that way, I guess.

Actually *checks notes* being an active feminist which takes down patriarchal power 🤔🤔🤔
Cause didn’t see any of yous helping us when we had operation Augusta and that. This isn’t about my safety, it’s a form of stealing my agency and power and using it for your hatred and bigotry.

We see it for what it is. It makes us sick.
