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.

Like on some level you don't have to like the person someone is being abusive to at all in order to have a triggered reaction -- "This could easily happen to me, this HAS happened to me, if I'm not careful this WILL happen to me"

I guess what I'm saying is there's no "eventually" here; negatively stereotyped depictions of trans men or nonbinary people are attacks on me. I need to balance this kind of unjustifiable intuition with how they actually feel about the representation, of course.

Do you think we've internalised some of the same gender trans prejudice, so that it doesn't feel as bad because its familiar to us?
