from here

#this has been living in my head the past few days because all you ever see in debates is 'there are 2 positions (trans v conservative)' #and sometimes you get '3 positions (rightwing v trans v 'some feminists)' #and its so interesting to think 'which positions are made invisible here and why' #when debates are like 'youre pro trans or you're a rightwing nazi' then its obviously a 'nice dichotomy whats outside it' situation #but even with 3 positions this has made me more conscious of the secret 4th thing #like how rfsl in their opinion statements are very queer constructionist #but in their practical activism they are trans ideological #and they flipflop between those two positions #and whenever u call them out on it they just go 'we dont care about philosophical wibble we just want trans ppl to live their lives!' #your organisations core opinions are incoherent with eachother and we're pointing it out #jane clare jones
