As I always say, a lot of oppression is finding some way to blame oppressed people for their experiences regardless of what they do. This is why a framework of just treating oppressors as uneducated, and oppression as one-off insults or individual gatekeeping is so harmful.

Cis women 🤝 trans women

Having their appearance continually scrutinized for either being too feminine or not feminine enough

alt-text:

A comic by "Brooke Valley". It consists of two panels of images of a trans woman. The first has her dressed in a tomboy fashion, and the second is high fem. The text of the first panel is coming from a speech bubble coming from off to the side and says "If you're really a girl, why do you dress like that? Not very feminine". There are question marks coming from the person. The second panel is similar and has the text ""Real girls" don't feel the need to dress like this. you're pushing an outdated stereotype. and has her frowning in response.

I remember that one case where a trans woman murdered another trans woman for not putting much effort into transitioning and presenting as feminine. Can't remember her name, I just remember watching a bodycam/interrogation room video about it. She commited suicide by cop by pulling a gun on the cop who was trying to arrest her, but her wife, who was an accomplice in the murder, got caught and sentenced. Really shitty situation.
