Trans Oppressors Hate Transpeople

Let me make this perfectly clear. If you advocate for policies that oppress transpeople and make our lives more difficult, you hate us.

It’s that simple

If you penned a transphobic book as Janice Raymond did and wrote a 1981 paper that resulted not only in the elimination of a low income trans person's ability to use Medicare and Medicaid to cover SRS, and then insurance companies followed suit by denying us insurance coverage we paid for to do that, then you are a trans oppressor.


If you got a transperson terminated from a job or did the deed yourself, you are a trans oppressor.

If you outed a transperson against their will or started a whisper campaign against them because of jealousy, your faith based hatred or ignorance of transpeople,  you are a trans oppressor.

If you wrote an unjust academic paper with the goal of restricting or eviscerating the human rights of trans people around the world to pimp a failed disco era radical feminist agenda, you are a trans oppressor.

If you penned an unjust law that denies human rights to transpeople, you are a trans oppressor.

If you are a judge that has made an unjust ruling against a transperson when the merits of the case and weight of the evidence called for you to rule in favor of the trans person to protect their human rights, you are a trans oppressor.


If you are pushing a self serving, racist, exclusionary definition of transsexual because you are self loathing and too clueless to see that it's deleterious to the human rights of all transpeople including yourselves and colluding with radical feminists who hate you, then you are a trans oppressor.

As Alfred Paster said in The Roots of Soul in 1982, "Oppression places identifiable constrictions on the natural rhythm of man." 

And I and the trans community are tired of those identifiable constrictions being cavalierly placed upon our human rights by so called friends and foes alike..

Unlike you who hate us, we don't hate you.  We hate your oppressive behavior.
