Happy Trans Awareness Week! I published an op-ed in @time 🏳️⚧️A few months ago I went through a challenging targeted media attack. I was harassed, doxxed, and received death threats daily. I’m no stranger to receiving hateful comments online, but this experience was unprecedented. Everything I posted in June was met with over-sexualized comments, transphobic rhetoric, and hateful vitriol. I found it paradoxical how the same people could slut-shame me for being a woman, while simultaneously calling me a “man”. This later led me to have conversations and to journal about my feelings of being over-sexualized and harmed due to trans misogyny. Thus came my Op-Ed, “The Desire to Cruelty Pipeline: The Oversexualization and Violence Toward Trans Women.” Go read it and then comment here what you thought!
