One last thought: I thought that your essay is in indirect dialogue with JGP's article last year "Reject Transgender Liberalism" abt how gender theory has been arguably co-opted by political transphobes to justify anti-trans legislative action (I do not like that article to be blunt, lol).

Today, I wish to discuss how the difficult questions of third world feminism are elided and obscured by Western feminists---both white and not---and kindly ask feminists all over the world to grow a fucking pair. Read: taliabhattwrites.substack.com/p/no-country...

In any case, I do generally agree with doing away with cultural relativism in epistemology to some extent, but anthropology has whole courses about this issue for a reason. It is quite complicated! I enjoyed your essay in any case, thank you for sharing it.

I agree that centering the white gaze is an issue that occurs in the West among brown women, and I would say that that is the issue that We Are Lady Parts was trying to capture. I think it did so well! It is unfortunate that tokenization leads to that issue making the queer love story fraught. :(

Her crime is her desire to speak on the experiences of all brown queer women living in the West. This is a natural tendency that occurs in queer brown spaces, virtual and real. Easy to relate as an issue, given that we are brown trans women, often spoken over ourselves lol.

To some degree "Westernization" (problematic term I think for me to use in this context but I am not a scholar) of queer brown women is a thing that happens, and performing for the public eye is a thing that happens. It is unfortunate but real.

As for We Are Lady Parts, I actually enjoyed the queer subplot. I think there is a class issue being discussed beyond the queer issue. Zarina is an influencer. For various reasons, I personally distrust queer influencers (I recognize this is a fraught statement), so I enjoyed the portrayal.

I enjoyed the discussion of the term "honor killing." It is a common term in the GBV space used by South Asian women themselves for a reason - in my direct professional experience, it is not actually controversial among those who work in that field.

I'm going to talk about one of the most traumatizing events of my life through the lens of Natalie Wynn's video, "Shame". I will share as much detail as I can without rendering myself comatose. I rarely bring it up because I know this story can easily be weaponized against us, but here we are. So.

I can't say most of what I want to say on this app but I do think the trans discourse needs to be more keyed to how we actually make Stonewall happen again

Hey guys, deep breaths but @erininthemorning.com is reporting that there’s gonna be another anti-trans EO tonight, this time against teachers. It’s gonna be bad, but I’m glad we have advanced warning. My recommendation would be to take some deep breaths and emotionally prepare yourself now 🖤

Erin Reed Getting word that we will have another EO targeting transgender people tonight, this time targeting teachers. From a far right source: The order, according to the White House memo, also directs Trump's attorney general to work with state AGs and local district attorneys "to file actions against teachers and school officials who sexually exploit minors or practice medicine without a license through 'social transition' practices." This could have tremendously negative impacts against school systems, and could see attempts to put teachers in jail by claiming using kids pronouns is "sexual exploitation" or "practicing medicine without a license." Stay tuned, I'll

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

I was second author on this paper! I contributed a short autoethnographic section detailing various experiences of epistemic injustice that I've been subject to by online communities, facilitated partly by how social media platforms are structured to enable such abuse.

the word "pretty" appears exactly once in a book about transfemininity and you used it to describe yourself pre-transition. girl I see you right now

trans girls who deny themselves expressions of femininity (building true affinity, showing love, being open) because they believe the bodies they inhabit are only borrowing femininity rather than realizing it is theirs to own because it comes from within. you're dumbasses. i love you

no, the two parties will fight for hegemony over who stole the land they stole indefinitely, collapsing inward like two binary stars transformed into co-orbiting black holes. until trans revolution anyway

when you're made to live in a cage as soon as you're born, it seems like the entire world I guess
