Hey Mary!

Transgender women are non-monolithic. I think that what you’re missing is listening to the cis and trans women of color who have voiced their concerns. Your statement has a lot of, “I, I, I,” in it, which suggests your personalizing yourself in this topic. Try to focus more on the marginalized people and understand why they feel the way they do.

“what am I supposed to do, seems like you just want me to mind my own business”

Quite the contrary! I want you to roll up your sleeves and get down to business! I want every white woman and every white feminists to identify the problems of cis and trans women of color as your problems as well. Put the pussy hat aside for a moment. Read the links provided in the article. Ask yourself, “Why don’t I know these things that are affecting Black women and women of color? Why is the pussy hat more important than keeping Black kids in Baltimore warm? Why does this article offend me?”
