Woman is not a costume
No thank you. No really, that’s ok, we’ve got this.
I think it’s super important for trans gals to learn about the feminist movement. Here’s Jude reminding us of the First Wave — the women’s suffrage movement. The Women’s Suffrage movement flourished concurrently in the United States and in the United Kingdom. Thanks to the efforts of such courageous women, the 19th Amendment, giving women the vote, passed in the U.S. in 1919, and got ratified in 1920.
He does know that the suffragettes were TERFs, right?
Ya know, I’d begun to think that my capacity to feel rage had been burnt out. This is … Can women not even have their own history and accomplishments?
Just picture a white man in blackface and carrying a watermelon saying that transracial brothers need to learn about the struggle of abolitionists and civil rights champions.
How the fuck is the problem with this not obvious?
Does this person actually think their right to vote was won by 1st wave feminists?
Wow.
Women’s history? What women? I don’t see any women, only a bunch of cis-privileged AFAB not-really-real-women-because-born-women.

Next week he’s going as Rosa Parks.
“Trans gals.”
Gals – I actually despise that word. It’s so…condescending.
WoLF’s comment on FB: “The class of people denied the right to vote on the basis of sex do not need the class of people who were not so denied that right to put that oppression on like a costume, to help us remember. We remember just fine. Go away.”
I guess Jude isn’t aware that the people *denying* the vote on the basis of sex—that would be the same sex as Jude—were force-feeding those denied the right to vote. More fun for these “gals” to dress up as the oppressed than the oppressor.
