      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.

      Putting on someone else's experience as a costume ought to be universally offensive to us in this way, I think You ought to be able to access some empathy for how the cavalier desire to do that could be turned on anyone at a whim

      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

          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?
