Trans women who have given up male privilege, what's it like having all of the political power in the trans community?

It's not like there's some sort of underground trans femme conspiracy you caught me in, and yet that's how you seem to perceive the situation.

No, I just think most trans women view themselves as superior because they were born male, especially if they're also feminists.

That's incredibly prejudiced, and I don't think you espouse in attitude like that and expect trans women to try and respect you.

I do not expect trans women to respect me no matter what I say. I might as well keep it real.

I came into this discussion wanting to help trans men find more of a voice in this community and I maintain that position. As for you, personally, I really don't care any more.

And there it is. Unless I'm practically sucking you off, you couldn't give a shit about my rights, my place in this community, or my comfort. Guess what? I shouldn't have to kiss your ass to get you to care about trans men. You should care about trans men on your own. If I can get you to stop caring about ALL trans men just by being a little bit mean to you, then it's pretty clear to me that you weren't going to give a shit anyway.
