      this is important bc i would bet good money that not only are there plenty of trans women who experienced male privilege before transition, but also many of them, esp those exposed to feminism, transitioned as a way to *atone* for that privilege

      "You transition because you want to love yourself as a woman!" Vs. "You transition because Feminism made you guilty about your male privilege and you want to love yourself again!" If you heard this out of context, you'd think it was said by a TERF.

      Okay, this is the one thing I've seen Contra do that absolutely can't defend. The idea that many trans men and women are just opportunists who transition to seize power or to secure access to resources meant to help the oppressed flies in the face of the world we live in.pic.twitter.com/7ppabX5uBd

      Here's what's up. It's an indisputable fact of my biography that I experienced male privilege. It feels good to see another trans woman acknowledge it, to not feel like I have to fabricate my autobiography to own the TERFs. BUT I don't cosign the rest of Andrea's thread—

      I initially responded this just to show support for a trans woman sharing something that I think we're generally encouraged not to share and that I think takes guts to speak about. But it seems the rest of the day she's devolved into freeform edgelord nonsense. I'm not with that.

          Okay, I'm super glad to hear that. Hope this didn't cause you any stress, I was just genuinely concerned that the person who helped me become the woman I am today actually believed all that junk.

          It might have been worth giving a more careful read, because the edgelord nonsense was happening before, during, and after yr endorsement of her take. I'm sorry to use this specific word, but it was a careless thing to do.

          Right, but have you since talked to and explored the feelings of other trans people on this specific topic of privilege?

          Thanks for clarifying, this is good to hear <3 in isolation I think there's nothing wrong with discussing that particular point by offering your perspective, we know you'll have unique takes on this stuff and I for one appreciate the insight

          My problem with this topic usually is that while we talk about individual viewpoints, there’s little focus on collected data or patterns found among the trans population as a group. I have some citations you might find interesting on this point if you want to consider it more.

          In fact, considering your endeavors to fight transphobia, you might especially find it useful. I would also be happy to talk more about the whole privilege concept in this context if you like; I realize you don’t know me but I figured I’d offer.
