“
When one group controls a space or institution, when only its members’ voices, concerns, and perspectives are relevant to the determination and organization of that space—that is to say, when that group ‘owns’ the space—it is their space, regardless of who else may enter. So when allies to trans women demand our inclusion without simultaneously demanding that that space be accountable to us—including that trans & cis women be equally in charge of what constitutes women’s space and feminism—they are not demanding fundamental change, only a softer supremacy.
Cedar, Beyond Inclusion
In case there was any remaining doubt why I don’t feel I belong among feminists, even when they pay lip service to “inclusion”.
(This could also apply to cis LGB orgs, of course. In fact, I was thinking about that as I was reading this.)
—
softer supremacy. perfect way to summarize.
