Let’s play a game and see if we hear pim from cis Nigerian women writers about CNA, since she’s one of their own, or if it keeps falling to those who are more marginalized to speak out and bear the associated costs.

Actually, expand it to African women writers and throw in some bonus points if any African literary spaces weigh in!

Tbh I’m just so tired of how little people care about trans folk. If CNA was openly homophobic, everyone would be loudly condemning it, even if just to preserve their optics. But trans people are ‘easier’ targets and bigotry against us gets excused and justified, even praised.

Let me be clear—you cannot support trans people and CNA at the same time without holding her accountable for the harm she is lending her power to, without centering trans people over her celebrity, without sacrificing the pedestal you put her on.
