In the reading about transphobia I started to relate it back to oppression and it made me think of how crazy the world is. You have women fighting for their rights because they want to make progressive strides and in- turn the trans-exclusionary feminist give the same treatment they know all about to a transgender person who identifies as female. Disregarding their concerns for safety in their lifestyle shunning them from being a part of things and etc. As if they cannot relate to feeling oppressed and less than. It’s very comparable for me to some biracial people people will tell them you you’re mixed so you are not black enough and on the other side they will say you are not white enough. It’s like well where do you go? When I come across certain readings such as this and others we have read I cannot help but feel sad thinking of the struggle those who do not conform to the façade of what “normal life” looks like go through. I am glad we are in a more progressive place where some of the naysayers have recognized the absurdness in their thinking and how it is a domino effect on progressive strides in the world!
