I don't watch kat_blaque's content on YouTube, but he (I believe he identified as first genderqueer, and then a trans woman) is a trans right activist and is really popular on twitter and even YouTube, with every one of his tweets that have to do with race and trans people gaining a massive number of likes. I was curious and went through his tweets. He has said things that confuse me and I fail to understand. And I wanted to know what you think of them as well.
Thread number 1: In these tweets, especially the photo attached to the first tweet of the thread, he said there are a lot of cis gay men that like trans men: https://twitter.com/kat_blaque/status/1300225071571562496
Thread number 2: In a response to kat_blaque, someone criticized Arielle Scarcella for "tearing down trans people" and said that if one of the two men or one of the two women that are in a relationship "come out" as trans, that should not be an issue and is not a violation of the other partner's sexual orientation: https://twitter.com/MaiaMonet/status/1289221941702926337
I don't understand? Even if the trans partner did not intentionally deceive the other partner, they should not make the other stay in a relationship and guilt-trip them. But that is what they do? The last time I was talking to a girl whose girlfriend came out as a trans man, she told me in dms she wanted to leave her but didn't out of the fear the girlfriend would call her a transphobe.
Thread number 3: blaque talks about detransition in the thread, and a trans man tells him in the response that there are trans men who don't take the T and they are valid, and anyone telling them to take the T to meet up their standards is nb-phobic: https://twitter.com/dwoozle/status/1222537036399247361
Does nb-phobic stand for nonbinary-phobic?
Thread number 4: https://twitter.com/saint_puffy/status/1169579788299898881
Trans women pioneer the LGBT movement and get pushed back for decades so cis gay men could take center stage. We are the appendix of this queer body of people, we get infected with all the poison and vitriol first.
I hear this a lot, "trans people fought for gay rights, there can be no lgb without the t, because without the t fighting for gay people you wouldn't be where you are now"
But did trans people really fight for gay rights back then? I lack knowledge in history, so can anyone who knows confirm if that is true or false?
Thread number 5: Trans man to blaque's tweets responds with saying that she finds cis gay men exhausting and doesn't have the time or patience to help them "cope with" her vagina: https://twitter.com/voopytimes/status/1045284414157189122
I feel like that's quite a homophobic thing to say?? :/
Thread number 6: Someone said lesbians on T begin to find men attractive because the T makes their homo female brain think like a homo male: https://twitter.com/justkeeplisting/status/1079521543015690240
I don't understand that tweet at all, does anyone know what they mean?
Thread number 7: https://twitter.com/JWB2313/status/1079632216148316160
They think trans men are men and a gay man dating a trans man is still gay. But isn't a cis gay man that dates trans men at least bisexual, even if he is not straight?
Thread number 8: https://twitter.com/kat_blaque/status/1079018159800111104
But why is being misgendered something so bad that needs others to empathize with them when it happens? I have been so-called "misgendered" most times online, but I don't care. I don't understand why trans people care?
Thread number 9: https://twitter.com/williampietri/status/1079135434075267072
The number 9 one is a bit of a long thread, but if you got to read it please let me know what you think
Thread number 10: blaque and others talking about trans-erasure: https://twitter.com/SueWithersDraws/status/1055665806548230145
Thread number 11: https://twitter.com/JThomasAlbert/status/1079577832391614465
I know the list is long, but thank you for being patient
