Of course in the long run this doesn't work. She'll only be accepted by these cis people so long as she maintains the undignified posture of being a trap, a lunatic, a tragic farce—"but at least I'm self-aware about it."
The contrasting strategy is represented by Adria, who deals with transphobia by huddling together with other trans people and raging against the unfairness of the world.
Like Tiffany, Adria is not meant to represent any one particular person. And she's definitely not me. I'm nowhere near as bold and unashamed.
The other strategy not represented in the video is "going stealth," i.e. getting to a point where you cis-pass well enough that you can simply not tell anyone you're trans and just not have to deal with it anymore. This is the most traditional approach.
None of this actually works, except as individual coping. Because ultimately cis people have to decide to stop treating trans people like shit, and the responsibility for that does not and cannot fall on trans people.
But until that happens there are always going to be new Tiffanys showing up to sell out their sisters and souls for a cheap kind of temporary acceptance.
Really glad you did this thread. Helped me understand the video much better. At first I thought it was just dunking on conservative LGBT, Blaire, etc. Now I realize it’s more examining the ways trans people try to cope with a world that doesn’t treat them with enough dignity.
