I know the day is coming. It’s only a matter of time. As a vocal member of the trans community with a large platform, I know a large call out is waiting for me someday. Someone somewhere is probably building a case against me as I type this.
Trans women are especially vulnerable to call outs and expulsion from activist and community spaces and resources — I would be no exception.
If you are a trans woman, chances are at least one of your friends has been forced to see a therapist because of an online call out.
I’m not talking about any old call out. I mean, I’ve been called out by conservative trolls Ben Shapiro and Milo Yiannapoulas before (Shapiro’s trolls were more creative, for what it’s worth). Conservative call outs come with the territory of being semi well known in left leaning circles.
