I understand it, its something people say a lot about transwomen on the internet, and I'm not saying its not a worthwhile thing to ever talk about, but it is a strange and uncomfortable thing to shoehorn into this critique which has nothing to do with how feminine contra is now or with transness at all
The way I see it it's basically the same as talking about "rich white gays" like Buttigieg. Contrasting the fact that they belong to a traditionally oppressed minority with the fact that they themselves aren't oppressed and therefore become traitors to their peers and further right than the average member of that minority.
Okay. I would also not have liked to see criticisms of Buttigeig's lib positions attributed to him being gay, or even constantly reference him being gay. I probably woulda said some shit like "what does fixing bread prices have to do with being gay"
its more that he made his entire campaign about him being a gay guy and whenever he was around other LGBT people he treated them like shit. for example he would regularly cancel meetups at venues that were 'too sexual' or would dodge questions on trans healthcare. its a combination of holding certain views and being gay that makes him detestable to other lgbt people.
I think kristina is trying to invoke the idea of "fuck you, I got mine".
