Victoria Brownworth: this is who you pay to write about queer issues?!?
Before you read further, check out this Storify wherein Victoria Brownworth claims that I am a pedophile who pays to have sex with children: Earlier this year, I wrote a piece about cisprivilege and how it showed up in a print article wherein Victoria Brownworth was curious about what the genitalia of a trans kid looked like – someone she says she believed to be a minor – and got the kid to allow her to gawk at his genitals. She detailed what the minor’s genitals looked like for her readers and our culture wholly endorsed and supported what would be, had this not been a trans kid, viewed as a crime. I additionally detailed the way TERFs rushed in to support an adult’s right to look at the genitals of a minor. That story can be read here: Gawking at TransKid’s Genitalia is “Freedom of Speech” says Philly PD
