It feels like I should start this by saying I’m sorry to trans women. So genuinely, I’m sorry. I was made aware that I did not fully understand the Gender Accelerationist Manifesto and some of the other concepts I used in the post. I feel like a critique of the GAM could still be useful, but evidently I am not the one to write it. I would like to double down on my defense of trans men, but certainly not at the expense of trans women. I see now that TME/TMA can be useful to people. I have seen (mostly on tumblr) people using them to punch across at trans men, but I can accept that it is useful and helpful, not just harmful in that way. I also mentioned in the Critique that I saw a “dangerous trend” of people considering trans women as much or more oppressed than cis women. This was just not right for me to say. Cis women are certainly oppressed, but trans women are also excluded both from men’s and women’s spaces a lot of the time, so if it were a competition, trans women would win it. I don’t like making a competition of oppression, but even in my own words I already had, so that was not okay. In conclusion, I’m sorry for the discrimination I gave and for trying to write about something I evidently did not understand.
