U G H - I am going to swear a lot right now.

rileyxxx:

Why does so much transmisogyny and privilege-denying bull shit exist within the trans* guy community? This bull shit is ESPECIALLY exhibited by well-off white dudes who are supposed spokespeople for ‘our’ community.

(I.e. Buck Angel, Ryan Cassata, Lucas Silveira, etc.)

Yes, I am calling people out here. Why? I am sick of seeing this oppressive shit all over my dash. Racism. Sexism. Misogyny. Body-shaming. Ableism. (proof here) Really? And what’s more? Some people actually accept and tolerate this shit because these people are ‘famous’. What true fans you are!

Guys, why is it SO hard to admit you have privilege? If you cannot admit that and acknowledge folks who are less privileged, I do NOT want you speaking for me. And I surely do not want you representing what it means to be trans*. All these folks do is reinforce negative, heteronormative stereotypes about trans* guys - a diverse minority of people who deserve fair representation and equal acknowledgment and respect.

Lastly, why do I have to keep bringing this stuff up, guys? Are we not oppressed enough? Now we are creating minorities within minorities here? Why are we actually fighting about what is or is not acceptable oppressive behaviour? Stating your opinion is one thing, but if you are using oppression in ANY way to get a point across or ‘fight for equality’, it is not only hypocritical, but WRONG.

Please note: When people say you are privileged, it is not a personal attack against you. It is not something to be ashamed of. It is something to be acknowledged. Whether you choose to do so is up to you, but it does not change the fact that you all are, in fact, privileged. Deny all you want. Call us whatever you want. Have your fans attack us over these issues. It only further proves our points.

Sincerely,

an admitted privileged white trans* guy named Riley
