They police trans women even though they say they don't. They delegitimize my trans faggotry. They further allow cis queer men to other anyone who doesn't both identify as male and was male assumed at birth. They shut out any cis queer boys (like my boyfriend) who want to interact with me in a space where we are accepted as boyfriends (as opposed to a gay bar where, suffice to say, I am not always accepted as I am a person with dwarfism who is not always read as male). I understand the concern about a "safe space", but why assume that cis queer boys are necessarily "unsafe"? Why not create a policy where cis queer boys who are PARTNERS/LOVERS of trans boys are allowed in as well? I feel that my identity as a gay trans man is neglected by these prevailing 'women and trans' policies: "Oh, silly, if you're REALLY a trans guy you only like WOMEN! Or at least women and female assigned people at birth like YOU, you sexy trans man you wink wink". It pisses me off. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
