I think about the recent brave visibility of trans people publicly in the media, in fashion and on social media. About my own writing on LGBT issues and the contacts it has forged with other trans and genderqueer people. I consider whether it is my own middle class, privileged affectation to call upon their spaces, their identities and "appropriate" them as my own.
If only Shon could apply this same level of thoughtfulness and self reflection to Shon’s appropriation of womanhood. I wonder why that hasn’t happened.
And controversially, I think Shon’s articles are fine. I think there’s some nice writing and sentiments in them.
