even as a brown kid who had to grow up in a post 9/11 America this is still the worst slur i’ve ever been called

the hate i’m receiving is abhorrent!

Remember when people got mad at me when I said “if you can’t even name 10 trans men activists from the 1980s-2010s I don’t think any of your takes about trans men and our experiences have any value imo. Especially if you aren’t a trans man.” And then people got mad at me?? Like damn sorry I expect people to know a little history before they talk about a group of people .

This is like the time some trans dudes on Reddit got mad at me bc I asked them if they read any transfeminist works bc their ideas about trans women and their experiences were very weird… like I don’t think it’s that crazy of an idea to think people should read and learn about a group before they try to speak/advocate for that group…

Why do some trans people act like you are hatecriming them when you ask them to read trans history and theory … or just talk to other trans people about their experiences . It’s not that crazy of a thing to ask.

Please pick up a book. Read a bit. Learn about other trans people.

Tragedy! You set out to read a negative review of a piece of media you dislike, only to find that the critic is being completely unfair to it and making a bunch of bad, unsupportable arguments.

Just checking.... We all pronounce Miette like My-TAY in our heads, right?

It's "mne-eeh-t." "Mne-eht" said with that soft tongue on the upper palette French sound or "mee-yet". I put the "n" because the pretty tongue roll on the "y" kinda sounds "n"-like to me.

I've been saying it Mee-yet in my head. Like the French word for "crumb."
