I think my frustration with Julia Serrano is that she will have a GREAT TAKE (A butch getting misgendered in a bathroom is an example of transphobia regardless of the butch's identity as trans) and follow it up with a RANCID TAKE (trans men being allowed into TE/RF events is an example of "cissexual transgender privilege". It's really frustrating because it leaves the book very one sided in its analysis of misogyny in the trans community.

#babble babble #theres just a lot to talk about #where she will see her dubious entrance into mens spaces as a violation of her gender and safety #(which it is)#but refuses to see the same thing applied to trans men as a threat too #which is also is #oh i didnt mention this in the post im reading whipping girl #i get why it's a seminal read!!!!!!! Good gender theory 85% of the time #just very lacking #and you can see the breadcrumb trail from her to baeddelism
