Fay Blaney's "hot take" on Boyden is just clickbait to spew vile transmisogyny. Her work is violent towards Two-Spirit ppl.

Two-Spirit ppl are the most vulnerable among us. White TERFs love to prop up Indigenous women who are laterally violent as a shield.
-
And I mean real lateral violence, not "oh someone disagrees with me". I mean the kinds of attitudes that get Two-Spirit ppl murdered.
-
Colonially imposed gender essentialism is not tradition, even when it's coming out an Indigenous woman's mouth. Protect Two-Spirit ppl.
-
At all costs. At ALL costs. Challenge transphobia in our communities, challenge it when it creeps into "teachings". Don't let it slide.

TERF: Trans-Exclusionary (Eliminationist/Exterminationist) Radical Feminist. Super second wave. Super gender essentialist. Super violent.
-
Folks, I am talking about the piece "Joseph Boyden identity debate mirrors appropriation of women’s voices and spaces". It's disgusting.
-
Read it before retweeting. She is comparing Boyden (and previously Dolezal) to trans women. That is violent and gross.
-
In fact the only reason Boyden is mentioned at all, is to get you to share a transphobic article. It's not about him, it's about hatred.
-
Did you share this article before reading it, b/c it was written by an Indigenous woman? You can delete that tweet.
-
We cannot mouth platitudes about respecting and loving Two-Spirit ppl while providing a larger platform for violence against them.
-
Sorry, not sorry, but I am going to tweet this thread at everyone I see posting that article on my timeline.
-
Also, before you decide to jump in and call Fay Blaney trash, or whatever...she has been doing community work for decades.
-
She is a visibly Indigenous woman with a lot of experience with racialized and domestic violence. But she is wrong about trans women.
