i wish we'd call transphobia what it is: transphobia more often and more comfortably tbh
#this isn't about the person whose post i rbed i'm not vagueing them!#i just read the france football association statement regarding the argentinian chants#and yeah obviously the chants are discriminatory but if you're gonna specify that it's racism why not specify it's transphobia as well?#i mean i know why. i'm not surprised. acknowledging transphobia as its own specific form of discrimination is NOT common in most spaces#or so i've noticed at least obviously my experiences and what i see are limited but i think it's fair assuming this is true in most places#anyway i certainly don't expect it to be done in the football world of all spaces#but it sucks and everyone SHOULD become comfortable calling out transphobia specifically#obviously there's intersections with other forms of oppression and discrimination but it DOES have specific ways of manifesting#and specific consequences etc. that we need to acknowledge. i want people to learn to recognize transphobia and call it what it is#of course the problem is that a lot of people are still afraid to acknowledge the existence of trans people and the fact we're people who#deserve rights and protection from harm so. yeah. long way before people say the word trans AND THEN the word transphobia#nico rambles#transphobia tw#ok to rb btw altho i said most of it in the tags lmao
