DETROITIn public, transgender activists often blame conservatives for being intolerant. But behind closed doors inside their own safe spaces, a different story unfoldsone in which the most ardent supporters of the Womens March are the oppressors.
Speaking at the Womens Convention in Detroit, an event organized by the leaders of the Womens March, transgender women berated conference organizers for assuming transgender speakers were qualified to only speak on panels addressing trans-specific issues.
Why is my voice confined to just one panel? asked Katelyn Burns, one of three transgender women featured on the panel, Not All Pussies Are Pink and Not All Women Have Pussies.
The idea for the panel was inspired by the infamous pink hat, which millions of women wore on Jan. 21 as they marched in Washington, D.C., and around the world.
Pussy hats became the symbol of the Womens March movement. But for many women, the pussy hats represent an erasure of women of color and trans women in the feminist movementbecause not all pussies are pink, and not all women have pussies, the description read. This panel will address how to fully include trans women, particularly trans women of color, in the feminist movement.
Why is it that when I pitch editors on topics that arent trans-related, I never hear back from them? Burns added. At this point, the only way I get paid to eat is if I write about trans stuff, and I always question why that is
That trans-oppression is crushing.
The tension in the room could be cut with a knife. Panelists went so far as to attack Womens March organizers by name, accusing them of including transgender activists in their events to check a box.

So are “transgender women” men who mutilated themselves into looking like women or is it the other way? I can’t tell the players without a program these days.

10 years ago this would have been a great article - for The Onion.
They may have needed to ease off a little in some places to meet their criteria for believability, but pretty much nailed the outline for one of their articles.

“Transgender” means “fake”. The words are identical.
So “transgender woman” means “fake woman”. That’s a man who may be mutilated to some degree and is using a feminine name.

How about trannies who are lesbians? You know, a man who says he's a woman, but wears flannel shirts, jeans and workbooks , cuts hys hair short, and walk like hy just dismounted a horse and hit on womyn. Do you get a seat at the pink pussy table?

Trans-dragon is only a matter of degree - bit of facial and hand/foot reconstruction, wing and tail prosthetics, fire breathing implant with external fuel supply, that sort of thing.
