Good writing in my view - while some commentary on here has framed Sheeran's justification as a demonstration of the hollowness of "neutrality", as a professional moral philosopher it is also what we in the business refer to as a "lie" and it may be helpful to refer to it as such

Ah, what I meant is that transfems experience specific kind of lack of safety and oppression that the rest of us don't. My whole point was to signify that difference while also acknowledging that we all experience transphobia as a form of oppression too.

More than anything, I wish we had access to hormones and surgeries. To me that is the most urgent issue, which we share across different trans identities. Transfems deal with transmisogyny on top, which doesn't afford you basic safety even after you have transitioned, which is also equally urgent.

You (and other trans women) are doing more than enough by being around and surviving, while having a lot more on your plate, so please don't feel responsible for this! Personally, I already have learnt a lot thanks to the works of trans women and I don't even know if much is left to be said.

i call this "neoteny of the oppressed" btw. because children are the archetypal objects of legitimate coercion (violence, authority, control, etc) any vulnerable group can have their autonomy stripped by first linking them to children & childlikeness. the comparison legitimizes any act of coercion

Something else that I thinks really needs emphasising: the police were the ones with the guns, who shot the (plastic and other) bullets, the tear gas. They were the ones with the water cannons, that shot the blue liquid that not only were meant to mark out protestors but also caused pain.

That 🧵 also mentions the police attacking people. And I really think this needs emphasizing: that so often, you see the 2019-20 Hong Kong protests described as "violent" -- sometimes with the classifying "sometimes", sometimes not, but almost never that much/the majority of it was by the police.

Seven years ago today, I got tear gassed while walking home after a protest march had ended. Of all the times I got tear gassed in 2019-20, this was actually the most direct hit I sustained and it was a pretty awful experience; one which caused me to be temporarily blinded, among other things.
