yeah there's def an element of— black trans person: [stands up for trans rights] everyone: white trans person: [stands up for trans rights] everyone: hmmm interesting let's debate this cis man: [stands up for trans rights] everyone: YOU ARE THE LITERAL HERO OF THE INTERNET
not that cis ppl shouldn't stand up for trans rights—obviously they should since people listen to them and that's really important and we need them! so I think the credit @Hbomberguy has gotten is deserved
But I also hope it translates into lifting up the voices of the trans ppl who have been advocating about this for a long long time.
I feel the concerns about cis people being the only folks really celebrated for trans activism are legitimate, but as a trans woman I sorta chose to interpret this as, like, solidarity? Like, I feel a cis bi man standing by us is indicative of the strength of the queer community
It does help though that like the bulk of the people helping with the stream and speaking on it were trans so he was doing the uplifting and giving a platform
He also did an incredibly good job of shutting up and letting trans people speak on stream.
I want everyone to be hailed as hero for standing up for trans people!pic.twitter.com/tMgZJY2DYy
