When I ponder who has the most power in society, I look to see who has the biggest targets on their backs. Who’s the dominant culture afraid of and why?
🎯 Trans folx and your superpower to “fundamentally alter the patriarchal hierarchy.”
All that’s left to ask, How can I help you in the effort?
This is really interesting not just for what it means in terms of a trans child but a woman's assertion of power. I grew up in a evangelical household & as a cis hetero woman I had some many issues with that culture. I still have a visceral reaction when I go to these churches for funerals/weddings.
Interesting read. I happen to have been raised in a very conservative, evangelical Christian home. When my son came out a few years ago, all I could think about was the final scene in “Fiddler on the Roof” in which a father rejects his own child. It’s heartbreaking and I vowed that would never 1/
happen in my family. My home would be a place of safety, acceptance and healing. NGL it was a complete unknown but I knew then and I still maintain that I will never ever stop loving my children no matter who they are. I just want them to be happy and live a full and rich life. 2/
Yes, honestly depressing to think all the years I taught about history of patriarchy and gender...it REALLY was as simple as I taught it. Boiling it down, there is no nuance. Just raw patriarchal impulse for dominance.

Concentrated capital is the source for enabling and exploiting it for minority control.

I've long believed transphobes & all race/gender/sex/-phobes are rooted in the desire for a wealthy-white-male-straight-binary-christian world order.
Any 'other' from that group threatens their ideal world order.
