1. trans girls are not obligated to educate cis girls on what constitutes transphobia (google is free) 2. i doubt you actually care enough to use google so here: it was pointed out that babyphatjeans was largely talking about problems that only affect cis girls or are not a priority for trans girls, not addressing the unique struggles trans girls face, making her blog + book exclusionary to the experiences of trans women. exclusive = transphobic
I’ve used google before im aware it’s free, thank you though! Her book is talking about her own personal life and struggles. A lot of women relate to dealing with shitty guys, a lot of women relate to having self esteem issues, a lot of women relate to wanting to do better and be better, cis or trans, women have dealt with these issues at some point in their own lives. if you are a trans woman are you not a woman? Last time i checked, you are indeed a woman. If someone hasn’t gone through the same unique struggles as someone else, does that mean that they hate that person? When black women talk about our own struggle of continued oppression, does that mean we hate white, latino, east and south asians? No, it doesn’t. It means that we don’t have the same shared experiences. If a cis woman is talking about her life and her own experiences that doesn’t make her transphobic, just like a black woman talking about her own life and experiences, doesn’t make her prejudice. Its her, cis or trans, talking about her life. I’m a cis woman and i will never understand the struggles of a trans woman, and i would never dare to act like i do, does that effectively make me and my blog transphobic? Because i haven’t gone through the same struggles? She never intended her book to be exclusionary, i believe you know that, her experiences aren’t my experiences i understand that. Her truth and my truth are two completely different truths. Does that mean she hates me? No. It doesn’t.
