Cis Women, You Can’t Support Trans Women And Push The Bathroom Predator Meme
I’ve had a neutral opinion about Roseanne Barr over the years but that may be about to change in a negative direction. She let fly with a series of transphobic tweets that makes me wonder if she went to Michfest this year. The transphobic Twitter exchange was driven by guess what, the bathroom issue. Kola Boof stuck her nose in the middle of this transphobic Twitter mess and unleashed a series of problematic tweets in support of Roseanne. Note to Kola and ‘errbody’ else: You cannot call yourself a supporter of trans women and pimp the demonstrably false bathroom predator meme at the same time. By doing so you, Roseanne and anyone else who pushes this meme is interpreted by trans women as you really don’t respect us and our femininity. It also causes trans women to question just how much of an ally to our community you really are.
