I am trans.
I was a follower of Munroe Bergdorf’s Instagram.
Munroe wrote a post about JK Rowling, calling her a dangerous woman to the trans community. Munroe stayed something along the lines of
“JKR is a dangerous cisgendered, white woman who is causing harm”
I replied to this post, asking why Munroe felt it necessary to mention JK Rowing’s racial identity.
I wasn’t Abusive. I just felt that it wasn’t necessary, in regards to what Munroe was being critical of, to mention JK Rowling’s ethnicity.
Within minutes my post was deleted and I was blocked.
I am trans, and Munroe has silenced me.
So it seems nothing can be questioned. Any intent to ask a question, or to strike up debate, will be met with being silenced.
This is fast turning into propaganda. This is fast turning into thought crime. This is fast turning into silencing. This is fast turning into something it should never have been.
When a trans person isn’t even able to question another trans person, what chance do “people who belong to sex that menstruate”* have?
- Christ, I don’t even feel like I can use the word women here without being controversial.
I am so sorry for people to whom I thought I identified alongside (trans people) who are doing this to you. I feel sick and ashamed of what I am, because of people who are representing me.
I feel like I literally have no space left. And I can’t help but feel that a lot of biological woman are feeling the same way. And you have so much more to lose than I ever will, so I simply can’t imagine how this is making you all feel.
