You know what’s interesting about Erasure/Hypervisibility dichotomy? 

It goes beyond the fact that no, hypervisibility isn’t a privilege, it’s not a privilege to be made into a target and to have your entire group slandered in the media and in society.

The really interesting thing is that hypervisible people are erased too? Hypervisible groups of vulnerable people are still erased, the erasure is present in the complete lack of any Real and Authentic depictions of those people. The erasure is present in how their/our voices are pushed aside and ignored, even about their/our own problems. How their/our presence and accomplishments are pushed aside in favor of feasting on their/our pain and suffering to assuage liberal vulture guilt and the roman holiday fascination with suffering this society has got.

Hypervisible groups (like say trans women) are simultaneously hypervisible and erased. Because the hypervisibility is of a constructed slanderous monster target, a strawperson, a caricature. Everything else, the reality of these people’s lives is erased.

So when invisible and erased groups complain about their erasure and claim that hypervisible groups are somehow in the green for “representation”, they’re ignoring the fact that there’s just as much erasure present for those hypervisible groups.

It’s just selectively erasing our humanity to leave behind a monster that’s easier for people to want to destroy.

For y'all that don’t know, phrases like “Welcome to being a woman” are constantly used to minimize the misogyny that trans women deal with, and hearing it from a cis, male comedian who has a history of transmisogyny does not make it sound any less condescending and annoying.

To put it bluntly, keep John Stewart’s ugly ass face off my dashboard

Fucking THIS!

Tired of explaining this shit to people about Jon Stewart’s brilliant insight on trans women’s realities.

STOP treating bi women like our lives revolve around men and how that somehow makes our love towards women less legitimate. It’s incredibly dehumanizing and isolating, especially those of us who are: 

• in monogamous relationships with women
• not attracted to men  
• date non-men exclusively for our own personal reasons 

And to pretty much ALL bi women tbh regardless of who they are and are not dating because it just keeps reinforcing the idea that bi women’s sexuality exists solely for the pleasure of straight men.

i have a lot of problems with how cis-centric the LGBTQIAP+ movement is because trans people are consistently alienated from it, especially non-straight trans people 

like that “straight passing privilege” bullshit is not only bi/pan/polyphobic, it’s transphobic 

and the transmisogyny is even worse

there are trans women that are afraid to call themselves lesbians and they default to gay or queer because of the alienation and straight up violence they’ve faced from cis lesbians 

I’m just so irked by the linking of the trans rights movement with the orientation rights movement because these issues are not interchangeable; and acting as if they are ignores the problematic intersections “LGBT+” has 

I am asking you sincerely this question: Could you please tell me more about the “straight up violence” that transwomen have experienced at the hands of cis lesbians?

For the purposes of this specific conversation, let’s define violence to mean either “actual bodily harm” (including sexual assault) or at the very least making a verbal/written threat to do actual bodily harm.

Any kind of link or data would be appreciated. It can even be an unverified personal story. Just any backup for the claim that cis-female lesbians have caused or threatened actual bodily harm to/at a transwoman for no reason other than she’s a transwoman or that she claimed the label of lesbian. 

I ask because there are many documented cases of transwomen threatening and sometimes following through on bodily harm towards cis-women and I’m wondering if it goes both ways. Thanks.

I have personally witnessed cis lesbians sexually assault, push, threaten and hit trans women in “safe” spaces on several occasions, and heard many conversations between cis lesbians about the harm they would like to cause to trans women.

Uhuh.

If we’re talking about things like that, how do you feel about conferences devoted to “breaking through” our underwear? And picketing a memorial for murdered women in Vancouver? And more, of course–I could get you a list of rapists that would make your head spin.

But nah. Fuck those dykes, right?

Jesus Christ do people still believe that lie about that conference? Thought you transmisoginysts had dropped that one.

And nah the ratio of Trans women rapsists compared to any other group ain’t gonna make my head spin. There’s a reason I only hang around trans women on the regular.

TERFs obsession with an imaginary legion of Trans women trying to rape them is borderline fetishising at this point tbh.
