tw for mentions of anti trans violence against women
2012-11-03
randomly
I recently unfollowed a trans man on twitter because he said that he wished that trans men had the same visibility as trans women in the trans movement (and media)
in case anyone forgot…
the ‘visibility’ of trans women is usually based on the violence experienced, the dead bodies piling up, and from the media’s longstanding obsession with sensationalizing our stories
this ‘visibility’ is rarely positive, generally negative, and doesn’t really do much to actually benefit trans women
