acceptable problems to have with Caitlyn Jenner, you go, you critique those mainstream narratives

• as a wealthy, white celebrity, her experiences aren’t representative of those of most trans women
• she’s described herself as conservative, which, even though she hopes to make the Republican Party more trans-inclusive, implies some other oppressive views
• a lot of trans people don’t conform to cis beauty standards and that’s just fine
• the narrative of visibility as a goal is really problematic for trans people who are placed in danger by hypervisibility
• “trans media moments” like this don’t do very much if they focus on one successful trans person instead of the systematic oppression we face
• cis “allies” who fetishize trans women but don’t show up when trans people need solidarity

unacceptable problems to have with Caitlyn Jenner, get off my blog, you transphobic trashpile

• you think trans people are gross
• you think trans people’s identities aren’t valid
• you’re uncomfortable finding trans women attractive
• seriously if you have any issue with Caitlyn Jenner being trans, shut the fuck up and please never speak again
