So one of the problems that I find with
the queer community is that there is no
space to speak openly and honestly about
oppression that is specific to females
and that's because whenever there's a
discussion in the queer community
surrounding women
there's always a relentless pressure to
include trans women in the conversation
without acknowledging our differences
in how we are oppressed. The queer movement is very very male centered.
There's a lot of focus on gender
transgression and I feel like a lot of
people are so caught up in being pc
about gender and people's gender identity that
they don't want to acknowledge or
recognize that biological sex plays a
huge role when we're talking about
oppression. I admit that in most cases when
I'm speaking about women's issues I'm
talking about females okay
and that's because I'm a female
and my experience is
from the female experience and that's
what I'm going to speak about okay.
I can't speak for anybody else but
my own experiences
and what i've seen from other
people. 
This is a venn diagram of women's oppression.
Okay. My intercourse video represents a global academic of fuckery
against women
and it does not include trans women
it's only specific to females
however as you can see if we come over
to the middle here
if we're talking about sexual harassment
or rape
or in the case of 
some fetishization
then all women face it. And then there
are also
some things that trans women face
that females will not have to face ok
and as you can see
there just about
you know equal amounts of
things that we all have to deal with
on both sides but they are different
okay and those differences need
to be a knowledged.
This diagram is not by any means
meant to be comprehensive
but it's meant to just give
examples of
different things and you can feel
free to add as you wish but this is just
an example okay.
I accept trans woman as women
but because trans women are not female
I don't accept them as being female
okay if you notice i'm using the word
female instead of cis women and that's
because I don't believe in the cis/trans
binary
because
I don't believe that females are
privileged
on the basis of gender. Trans women and
females
are oppressed in different ways and the
defining factor in fact distinction is
biological sex because
sex matters. Womanhood on the other hand
is a gender identity and
that identity is socially constructed.
Womanhood is an identity that is forced
onto females okay
throughout our lives girlhood and
womanhood
for trans women womanhood is an identity
that they feel that they embody
okay Even though i'm rooted in my identity as
a woman and i'm proud of it
that does not change the fact that
socially and culturally
womanhood is just an abstract concept
that is used
to oppress people
on the basis of gender and get us to
conform to these fucked up gender roles
a couple months ago I made a video
called being queered does not make
you radical
and I talked about the fact that I
encountered
a grown man
who had no intention of living
as a woman
he was very violent he was very
sexist
and he abused my
female friend
and he identified as a woman and as a
lesbian okay and I didn't accept it.
I didn't accept it personally because
not just because of what happened with
my friend but also because
when he is identifying as a woman he is
appropriating and exploiting
not just
my experience but
females experiences but also trans
women's experiences.
but either way he is proof that
legally and socially anybody is free
to identify
however they want to ok a grown man who
is actively exploiting women
is able to identified as a woman and
enter women spaces
okay if we allow for that type of shit
to happen. The thing is that not everyone can
identify as female
and females are globally oppressed class
in and of ourselves that means if we
created civil rights and legislation
around women or womanhood simply for the
sake of including
of allowing anyone to enter the
group
including trans women it would be
ignoring the fact that females
are a distinctly oppressed class
and that females need to have
certain rights and legislation in place
to protect ourselves not to mention that
we would also be allowing anyone
to enter the women's group because
woman is again a gender identity it
is a social construct
is not something that is concrete and
and defined ok females cannot be
grouped in with trans women all the time
because we have been oppressed on the
basis of sex most trans women have lived
as boys and men for some time in their
lives the fact that trans women are
pressed on the bases of gender
does not mean that they are exempt from
sexist modes of thinking
it doesn't mean that they have not
benefited from male privilege
and it doesn't mean that they still
don't benefit from some forms of male
privilege and that's because trans women
were born as males ok hence the term
male privilege and because sex matters
biological sex matters
in this society having a working penis
or male reproductive system counts as a
form of male privilege people really
need to be more sensitive to the fact
that females have been oppressed
on the basis of biological sex and that
oppression creates real traumatic
impacts in our lives okay
I recently read an article by woman who
used to be married to a man
before he transition and began living as
a woman she was married to him for
twenty years in the article she
described her former partner using that
he/him pronouns and
she got a lot of backlash for it
people accused her of being transphobic
for using
the he/him pronouns and so the article
was taking down, k. I personally agree that
they shouldn't have published
an article to the public without some
sort of context
solely because
people could look at it and say
that it's okay to
use the wrong pronouns to
regard or address all trans women ok but
I also thought the way that people
responded to that article was really
fucked up and really insensitive
and that
that kind of backlash was really just
sexist you'd think that maybe people
would be sensitive to the fact that
she
thought of her former husband as a man
because he dicked her down for twenty
years
and they had a baby together and he left
her with the baby and on top of that he
could have
you know more than likely he did have
sexist
modes of thinking and internalize sexism
and they could have bennett actively
acting out those oppressive gender roles
in the relationship ok I guess we're
just supposed to turn a blind eye to
that and
just just throw her entire experience as
a female away in favor of her
former husband
letting the honest okay
if any of the men who i've had
intercourse with in the past whether it
was consentual or not if they raped me if
it was consensual whatever okay
if we had sex or we had intercourse at
some point and they came out to me
looked me in the eye and they were- even if they were presenting as
women and they demanded that I see them
as a woman I would refuse
okay and that's not because I hate them
that's not because I don't want them to
have civil rights
but that's not because I don't want to
respect their gender identity just
because they happen to be living as women 
no that's because when
they were busy shoving there dick into
all of my orifices
and I was risking pregnancy and they
were not
I was having sex with a man
I was being raped by a man I was having
intercourse with a man and I was not
having sex with the woman
that was my experience I was my lived
experience as a female and that needs to
be respected just as much
as anyone else is experiences because
that shit is real and those experiences have
stayed with me my whole life and it's
not going away just because of the way
that someone identifies himself on the
inside
having a uterus and a vagina is not just
some exclusive club
for women who happen to be able to bear
children and make babies
that we want to exclude trans women from
it is a very real experience. Being raped
and knocked up
and forced to
push out a child that you don't want
and forced to breast feed it
and if you're poor or
you know if you're a woman of color and
likely in america living off of
welfare and supporting the child off of
welfare
for it's entire
childhood and adult life
that is not a form of oppression to
ignore okay
that is a reality and that is how a lot
of women are living 
and that is not something to be ignored
okay and it gets a lot worse when you
get outside of the country having your
having your clit cut off because people
think it's dirty it's not something
that's to be ignored okay
it's a real
life thing and it only affects
females not just erase it as something
that we can talk about just
because
it's you know
not universal to all women
the other thing as that being female
surpasses your gender identity because
trans men
and gender queer people who are
female
face the same exact
oppression for being female ok
that female oppression for trans men
does not go away just because
they choose to live as men ok even though
for in the case of trans men
they don't identify as women
and they might experience
some forms of
of male privilege that trans women don't
have
it's called intersectionality
okay it's not it's not all one thing or
all the other and it's true that trans
women do fees unique forms of
discrimination
but that discrimination is largely
rooted in them being associated with
being female okay and
occupying the female sex role and their
oppression is compounded because patriarchy
does not agree with
males who choose to live openly as women
okay it's an abomination but trans women 
are not the only male born
people who are pressed on the basis of
gender ok queer males in general are
oppressed on the basis of gender because
they are also associated
with being closer to occupying the
female sex role
especially if
for example
they are more effeminate or they are
on the receiving end of any penetrative 
sex that they might be having
they are associated with the female sex
role and so
they are relegated to a lower class
status ok trans women are oppressed on the
basis of gender not sex
only females are oppressed on the basis of
sex but all gender oppression is still
rooted in the hatred of femaleness ok
a couple months ago I went to take
a HIV test
at an organization that is for
queer youth of color
and to the person who administered my
test was a black trans woman
and you know she told me that
she started to a caucus a group
for specifically for trans woman because
she felt that the women's groups that
included trans women did not accurately
address the issues that were specific to
trans women
I thought that was the great idea and
told her that
that's something that
we should be doing more is that we
should have caucuses
I'm sure, you know, if she decided to
announce her group to the
organization that i'm sure
most people there at least would
be very supportive of it
but I can assure you that
if I for example wanted to create a group
that is specifically for females
I would receive a lot of backlash and a
lot of people would accuse me of being
transphobic. Now, this is not again this is
not about the oppression olympics but is
just about being honest
why can't we be honest and acknowledge
that we have differences that there are
differences between trans women's
experiences and females experiences
and there are similarities as well and
organize around that. People need to stop
playing gender police and calling
certain women transphobic when they
want to organize around
women's issues that are specific to
females
knowing fully well that most women are
female
most lesbians are exclusively attracting
to females
stop telling lesbians that they need to
have sex with trans women
in order to not be transphobic
and also people need to learn how to
support female only spaces
support trans woman only spaces and also
support
and create
women spaces that are
you know for all women
i'm against the idea that trans women
and females cannot organize together
politically because
the truth is that we need to organize
together in order to make real progress
okay
you cannot have a situation in which
females make gains and trans women
are left behind and you can have a
situation where trans women are making
gains over females okay
because that can happen too.
I also don't support the eraser of certian
forms the oppression
just for the sake of being PC and that
definitely includes female oppression
and I really think on this issue
the queer community needs to get its shit
together
that's all I want to say
and
Yeah that's pretty much it. Peace.
