America’s Hypocrisy…
I don’t understand how someone can tell you, “I’m a woman trapped in a man’s body,” but if I tell you, “I’m a black person in a white person’s body,” why is one easier to believe than the other one if I say Caitlyn Jenner is crazy for wanting to be a woman, they would call me transphobic. Immediately! “Oh, he’s transphobic.” So who is anyone to say that Rachel is crazy for wanting to be a black woman? I’m not even defending Rachel. I’m defending everybody’s right to be whatever is they want to be- Charlamange
**piegelife does Not support either but does find Americas contradicting take on things a tad flawed**

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Sneak Peak
It’s that special time of year! Christmas festivities, holiday cheer, and of course, angels that come to life and walk the runway! Victoria’s Secret hosted their annual Fashion Show last night in Paris with the hottest lingerie and the best musical performances to match. Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and VS fashion show veteran performer The Weeknd rocked the stage as the ladies strutted their stuff down…
transphobia is not punk rock pass it on
Sorry for not using your ask box, I’m just super uncomfortable doing this with my blog name attached because I don’t want to get any unwanted messages or attention.
Don’t get me wrong, the whole story of Caitlin Jenner stealing her daughter’s clothing is gross and definitely shouldn’t be played off as some cute, funny story. But the assumption she was doing it for sexual gratification and calling it “sexual abuse” rubs me the wrong way. Was it a violation of boundaries? Yes. But as someone who was sexually abused growing up, I feel like calling it that is somewhat belittling to sexual abuse victims.
And while it could be autogynephilic, that doesn’t seem like a label to attach to someone unless they outright admit that they get sexual gratification from “dressing like a woman” (I use quotes because there’s no such thing) or whatever.
The only case I would consider this to be sexual abuse is if she stole her daughter’s underwear/bra, which doesn’t seem to be the case. While stealing regular clothing is creepy and weird, it’s not really sexual in nature inherently. I feel like the label sexual abuse should be used more carefully than that.
Cheers!
Dear reader, thanks for your note. I am very sorry about what was done to you. I hope your healing goes well!
The last thing I want to do on this blog is use language in a way which minimizes the very real damage of sexual abuse and rape. However, I have to politely disagree with your analysis here.
Men, pre-transition trans women, and transitioning trans women who secretly try on their female partner’s, roommate’s, children’s, or mother’s clothes almost always do so for sexual reasons. If the reason wasn’t sexual, they would much more likely just play “dress up” with the woman in question. Seriously!
If you think Bruce wasn’t trying on his daughter’s panties (and possibly bras, though even now most 10 year olds don’t wear bras that I know of), sorry but you’re just not facing reality. Read about Richard Sharpe. (Note: his daughters accused him in court of masturbating in their underwear. That’s where I got that fact from.)
And if you’re still uncertain about this, talk to some trans women who are able to be candid about thing. Or, read the voices of trans women that are archived here. Or here. Or here.
Best wishes.
