thegaywardens: stop kissing marvel’s ass oh my god. they are grasping at straws. they should know how to do female representation. they have a handful of fucking amazing female led titles. they should have this down by now. instead they are feeding us this bullshit in the name of feminism. it’s transmisogynistic. it seems like a really desperate attempt to appease female fans. maybe i am entirely wrong about it. maybe it will be great. but everything about it so far is gross. Unless the PR so far is just factually wrong I don’t see how this isn’t transmisogynistic.

It is. Trans women are saying, over and over, that it is (and why it is). And instead of listening to us, cis feminists are arguing with us and calling us unfeminist for harshing their squee. Because that’s what really important, apparently.

This happens every. damn. time. cis feminists get excited about something that’s transmisogynist, or a beloved transmisogynist feminist dies (Mary Daly, anyone?), or a cis woman performs any kind of “feminist act” at trans women’s expense. I mean, I can believe that maybe they just don’t recognize it that way at first (though, I mean, that’s kind of a problem to begin with), but it’s like… if you’re just going to refuse to listen to us at all when this shit comes up, and if you never learn no matter how many times this happens, then… well, if nothing else, we need to have a talk. And if you’re sick of hearing it, and I do understand why you might be, then just imagine how we must feel when this shit keeps happening and we realize we’ve been talking to goddamn walls all these years.

Stop forgetting we exist. And stop trying to shut us up when we remind you we exist. Please.
