Something positive watching *Disclosure* was how offended trans men & women were by poor depictions of the opposite trans gender on screen. It's really fascinating how much *Boys Don't Cry* offends me as a woman, somehow beyond in defense of trans men? Can't justify it but yeah.

Yes. But I don't think it's empathy. Intuitively I interpret *The L Word* or *Boys Don't Cry* etc as an attack on me. In a scary way trans men don't even have to enter my mental picture for negative depictions of them to give me a defensive reaction (although of course they do).

Yeah solidarity here is different than empathy I think, it's based on an active material understanding that you are also at risk Blackface isn't just bad for me because I empathize with Black people, it's because the people who do it will, eventually, turn on me if they want to
