"Psychiatrist and postcolonial thinker Frantz Fanon and Black feminist scholar Hortense Spillers argue that desire is shaped by broader social forces like colonialism and the legacy of chattel slavery, respectively."------whatever studies you have to read to justify your sexuality, go for it guy

"Sure, it might be that— or my stretch marks, my misplaced moles, and every other shred of evidence of being a living, breathing female. I would scold any other trans girl for jumping to the fact of transness as the cause for rejection"

"I may come off as a bit aggressive posing the question, Why won’t you fuck me? It may even sound that I feel entitled to their desire. Wouldn’t it be lovely to have fucking be a human right? Alas, it’s not, and it cannot be. Desire is not enforceable, nor can it conform to our politics------"trans women are starting to sound like incel men.... This is kinda rapey

"it would be pretty cool if a Trans 101 was the new Viagra, if #TransIsBeautiful could be a command, and not just an affirmation."----no, no it would not

"I shouldn’t have to, and frankly cannot, change straight men. I feel like I’m failing at the game of heterosexuality–when actually, heterosexuality is failing me."------lol this sounds entitled

or my stretch marks [...] evidence of being a living, breathing female

So stretch marks are "inherently female characteristics" in his mind?

Seems like he's just perpetuating the female stereotype... Trying to be relatable to the one thing that supposedly brings all women together. Desperately trying to grab for attention and support, it seems.

I mean, stretch marks though? It's definitely not inherently female. My husband has them lol. This is why this article was reduced to comedy for me.
