Imagine some white kid in california is trying to convince everyone the movie godzilla is offensive to japanese people.
Nor what if a japanese person comes along and tells the kid to shut up because it’s not offensive.
Logically, the kid should listen to the japanese person and listen to the voice of the people they’re “trying to protect” but instead the kid argues not only with the japanese person but a lot more japanese people who tell the kid it’s not offensive.
That is basically what was happening.
A few people who weren’t trans were trying to tell the trans community what is and isn’t offensive to trans people and when real trans people tried to tell them to stop, they argued. they argued with the people who they were “speaking for”
That is why I am super pissed. Don’t tell me what I should be angry at and don’t tell me I should find something offensive. me and other trans people can speak for ourselves, we DID speak for ourselves and they ignored it.
