As An American I Forget That Some Of The Thomas Characters Are Voiced By British Celebrities.so Imagine

as an american i forget that some of the thomas characters are voiced by british celebrities. so imagine my surprise when im watching the uk version of hole in the wall (long story) and i hear sonny's voice. joe swash was participating in a celebrity special of the show! and now i cant get the image of sonny trying to get his giant well tank engine self to fit into the titular Hole In The Wall ™️

When women get chromosome tested to participate in sports and discover they're intersex and are wrongly excluded, trans women were the ones in the reticle.

When butch women get yelled out of bathrooms for being mistaken as men, trans women were the ones in the reticle.

When gay men in drag reading books to children are threatened by armed fascists, trans women are the ones in the reticle.

When broad shouldered, square jawed cis women are jeered at in public transport for looking 'mannish', trans women are the ones in the reticle.

When a trans man is called slurs in public because he looks like a trans woman, trans women are the ones in the reticle.

Why do trans women have to point out the suffering of others caught in the crossfire of our oppression to get people to care. I have had most of these things personally happen to me, trans women have all of these happen to us all the time, but I hear the loudest protests of this injustice when it happens to other people. I'm venting here but like, just consider every time this happens to someone who isn't a trans women, multiple trans women have had to deal with it directed at them not mistakenly.

Transmisogyny isn't having one of these things happen to you every now and then, it's constantly being the target of this pressure, this boot every day of your life, and feeling that in the back of your head when your boss laughs at you joking about needing to get paid more, when some coworker says your voice sounds deep, its knowing that you've got all these reticles pointed at you just for existing.

And I see those peoppe who say they're transmisogyny affected because something like one of the examples has happened to them once or twice. You have no idea what its like to live under this pressure constantly, you just happened to get hit by a stray shot and you're saying you're the target. Shameful behavior.
