I had a sexual harassment training one afternoon recently, which we are required to do annually. This year, we have a couple of gender woo people in my office that are very loud about it, and asked aggressively what about men? What about trans folx? The trainer (usually really great) made a huge deal of course about how men also get harassed and trans people get harassed too.

I wanted so badly to call it out and ask what the victimization percentages are. We all know it's mostly men (trans identified or otherwise) harassing women, by far. But no, we have to make sure we are nice to the mens and the trans and ensure their fees fees aren't hurt about how much they harass women.

I couldn't think of a good way to bring it up without sounding like an asshole, and maybe it is assholish to be annoyed about. But I am going to think on it this year and see if I can come up with a good response. Very frustrating when women's issues are overrun by our oppressors.
