Was just called a “homosexual activist”

by a conservative, anti-queer, anti-abortion website. I feel like I’ve arrived.

So yesterday I heard a cisgender lesbian use the word tr*nny to describe a trans woman →

And she didn’t understand why that was a problem. 

So here’s an article about why folks shouldn’t use the word tr*nny from Original Plumbing. 

Tr*nny is a slur. I think we’ve all agreed on that. Diverse sources, from Julia Serano to Kelly Osbourne, all agree. But for whom is it a slur? We know what image is summoned when we hear n*gger–a Black body. When we hear fag–a queer male body. When we hear d*ke–a queer female body. These words evoke certain identities. There are clear images associated with them. Fags are effeminate. D*kes are too masculine to be proper women. What clear image is evoked by tr*nny?

You know as well as I do: it’s the image of a trans woman. A “male” body, or rather, a body doctors would assign as male, in women’s clothing. A person attempting–and always failing, in these images–to be female. That’s what the image has historically been, and with only a few tiny changes, that’s what the image is now.”

Sights from San Francisco’s LGBT Museum. No Apologies is in reference to the riots after the man who killed Harvey Milk was not charged with murder, but manslaughter. #sanfrancisco  #lgbtq #queer
