TransFeminism/CisFeminism: Why Can't We Be Friends? - Community
TransFeminism/CisFeminism: Why Can't We Be Friends? - Community
But one way hierarchies are maintained is by setting up situations where members of oppressed groups in turn oppress those with even less power and privilege because it is one of the only available ways to demonstrate power and attempt to move up in the world – by moving someone else down.
I've seen this in so many other minorities, yet it's a lesson few learn. The entire post is worth reading, and thinking about. It'd be nice if the gay and lesbian community would get a clue from it, too.
Just my opinion, that's all.
