And listen, trans women don’t oppress cis women. Trans women aren’t on the Supreme Court, trans women aren’t in the senate, or in the state apparatus at all. Trans women don’t control patriarchal institutions at all. Trans women don’t sexually harass or catcall cis women.
Cis women DO oppress trans women, tho. All the women trying to legislate me out of public spaces are cis. All the women who’ve tried to chase me out of movements and spaces that trans women helped create have been cis. All the women who try to get the state to commit violence on trans women are cis.
So no, there’s no reason for cis women to be “uncomfortable” or “scared” around trans women. Cis women who are part of the state and patriarchal institutions in general oppress other cis women on the basis of their womanhood, trans women cannot and do not. If u were consistent ud be scared of ur own reflection.

god i want the problems of a jane austen heroine so badly specifically sense and sensibility like oh no my dad died and my horrible brother left us destitute and by destitute i mean we only get to retain two of our Servants when we go live in a beautiful two story, stone house with a garden and farmland and caring if overbearing neighbors and it’s so sad bc despite attending balls I know I have no dowry so I’ll probably just have to marry for love ONLY instead of for love AND wealth as originally planned but little do I know in one month I’m going to marry rich anyway thank GOD life was getting hard having only two (2) servants : (
me: *goes for a walk by our wealthy young single neighbor’s house which by all rights is a Palace* oh no, I think it may rain……. *catches the cold in the rain and faints*
the neighbor, out on one of his brooding mid-rain horseback jaunts: >: O *picks me up and carries me into his home and insists to my family I shouldn’t be moved from his bed until I am well*
The Western world will tell a white person that learning a new language and becoming bilingual will present new opportunities for them and promise a high-paying, competitive job. Meanwhile, Latinx people who grew up bilingual in Spanish and English, or learned English later on, will be offered a job that is lower paying than jobs of the same title offering to monolingual people. A bilingual, non-white person will be looked down on for code-switching or forgetting a word in their second language, but a white person will be told that it’s okay and just “part of the process.”
The Western world doesn’t care if someone is bilingual unless they’re white.
White second-language learners and bilinguals, myself included, should understand what kind of privelige we carry even in situations like these.
white male horror writers r too focused on being edgy and subversive by brutalizing kids, women and people of color and thinking they should brownie points for torturing people on screen. like no shithead, your movie isn’t scary just because you write about taboo topics, it’s disgusting and it’s clear you didn’t take ur hand off your dick not once while writing the script.
