Thanks to everyone for all the love.
Girl Talk 2011 - Tobi Hill-Meyer
Tobi addresses the similarities between transmisogyny and femmephobia from her perspective as a butch trans woman, and explains the mutual ally relationship that she has formed with the cis femme women in her life.
O.M.F.G.
I have never loved a video this much. ever.
You NEED TO WATCH THIS ENTIRE THING. It is long, but so SO worth it.
I know that I was just complaining about how everything having to do with femmes is always seen froma butch perspective, but Tobi does an incredible job speaking on her own experiences of transphobia and relaying them to her deep bonds with femmes.
Seriously, watch this.
And Tobi - I am in love with you. If you are ever in WI we need to have lots of coffee.

We want you, gorgeous trans* femmes (or trans* people who do femme) to submit!
Trans* people are often marginalized in femme spaces, and femme is often marginalized in trans* spaces, so this is our attempt to “fill the gap” and showcase femme within the trans* communities. Our aim is to be inclusive of nonbinaries and other underrepresented intersectional identities, as well.
We welcome followers of any gender, trans* status, and presentation! But we’re looking specifically to showcase the intersections of trans* identity and femme presentation among our submitters.
Please signal boost!
