That said- it isn’t primarily trans women’s fault, or trans women’s responsibility. A plaintive wish that there was more of an effort to help lift our voices (in America) was just that, not intended as blame.

It wasn't just that, this was your starting point. You're acting like TW are somehow gatekeeping attention from the screaming assholes going "yaaaaasss queeen, slaaaaaaay" tokenising us and raising up voices we actually really didn't need. Its "nice guys finish last" bs.pic.twitter.com/4M3vQJB0eX
But, what if I was thinking hey it’s a headwind for TMs to have a public voice, bc of TW’s hyper visibility which is obviously more harmful than helpful for them. TW didn’t create that headwind, but sometimes I wish they were more aware of it and trying to help us fight it.

I’ve never in my life used the phrase “yas queen slay” and Id never apply it to trans women bc its a phrase I associate with cis gay men. So, at least a little of this has to be seeing something that I never put in.

And, if I may take a risk here- perhaps I’d there were trusted trans male voices in the conversation, instead of randos like me you have no reason to trust, maybe they could make a point like this and be given more initial benefit of the doubt?
