Ugly is irrelevant. It is an immeasurable insult to a woman, and then supposedly the worst crime you can commit as a woman. But ugly, as beautiful, is an illusion. A matter of taste, a whim, an eye, a beholder, an opinion, a spin, light crossing the frame, paint, projection. The moment. Context.

When I want to know what transphobia is, I don’t ask a cisgender person. When I want to know what ableism is, I don’t ask an able-bodied person. The contours and definitions of oppression are best articulated by the oppressed.

Check your privilege: learn from someone who knows first hand, because unless you’re part of the oppressed group, you can’t know or empathize.

Hmm. Interesting, considering that I hear so often on tumblr that people are tired of having to explain their oppression and that people should educate themselves.
You can’t have it both ways.
