Women History Month and TransGender Correlation
In the transparency of things, let's just be honest, let's just be real!
In the world we reside within everyone is free to feel what they feel and how they should feel. In the reality of things your feelings does not equate to someone else's feelings. In the society of what is constructed for the citizens that reside in the foundation of this country; there are battles that must be fought in order to break certain stigma's, or boundaries that has been place on various ethnic backgrounds.
In a world where everyone is not friendly, education is not a priority for some and the progression of the world is detrimental to those who oppose it, things seem to be progressing in a format where it is acceptance according to what we say and not acceptance because we want to feel like we are apart of your world. As woman's history month, and poetry month progress we sit here as women still fighting for our rights within the world, and society.
As everyone know the history of women within society was not always one of being involved within certain structures and establishments that was created. Women have fought for the right to vote, and the right for inclusion within various workspaces. They have fought for the freedom that they have within this world today. In the space of going up against men to gain this level of freedom and the space to grow and become independent in the construct of society; here they fight to keep their space continues with Transgender Women wanting to dominate that space of freedom that women have fought so long and so hard for.
If you are not acceptant of their terms you become a trans phobic in their eyes. The point of creating a safe space for yourself it is so that you can feel comfortable enough to be yourself within that space. It is so that you can feel a sense of pleasure within that space, it is so that you can feel a level of peace within that space. It is not for others to come in and try to tell you what do do in your space or even tell you, who you should be within that space.
When it comes to the LGBTQ+ community we know there has been a lot of talk around the community and the things that have been taking place within the community. The battles that are faced and the place that the community is currently in, inside the world as a whole. Everyone within the the LGBTQ+ community needs a safe space just as anyone else does; however forcing things like gender affirming care on children is not a safe space. Forcing Gender bias such as CIS on people who does not want to be considered CIS within their biological make-up as a human being is not the way to get your safe space.
Forcing people to accept you when they are just understanding or getting use to the idea of something different and something new is not creating a safe space for you or those who are going through these transition. There are many saying things such as they are dying from being transgender and they suffer from being beaten, and shamed for who they are. There are many correlating there struggle to being a black person in a racist foundation. You cannot correlate being transgender to a black persons' struggle of living within systematic racism. When they do not get paid as much as their white counter part!
There are also Transgender comparing and contrasting their struggle to a woman's struggle. Here I still say the same thing, it is not the same and it cannot be compared. Women especially black women have been fighting these struggles for generations. Even in hollywood these women are still fighting these issues today. This has been decades of women fighting for what they believe in; basic rights and freedom to create and be heard within this world. They have truly created a safe space for themselves; that safe space is now being invaded and they are forced to share their space. No one even cares if they do not agree on the terms in which they are having to share their space. Once again it is something that they have to accept!
Having a safe space for the Transgenders is something that transgenders should fight for, but moving into a woman's space, and telling them how they should feel about it is not the way to go about your fight for equality. Some women are okay with being told they have to share their space and they can roll over and not have an issue with it. Other women who have fought for the safety of that space are not just going to be okay with that. Some women are tired of always having to sacrifice their space for others with no gratitude being shown, while others feel as if they have to accept it.
Women suffer more than any other species on this planet. They are prone to be trafficked in human trafficking at a higher rate; whether it is adult women or children; they are prone to be abused at a higher rate, and they are sexualized within the construct of society as objects. These are just part of the problems that women continue to deal with in society. When women generally speak up for things many are not pleased with it, it is an issue for those whom do not agree. Yet freedom of speech is your right within this country and it is constantly being denied to those who express it.
Respect is earned not given!
