Hello. My name is Kaden. I am a 22-year old transgender male. I have a 2-year old child, and one of my greatest endeavors is to teach him about the world.
In that endeavor, I often take him to our public library. He runs around being a 2-year old and I look at which books I…
Amazing!
The ease of not being aware of privilege is an aspect of privilege itself, what some call “the luxury of obliviousness” (or in philosophy, “epistemic privilege”). Awareness requires effort and commitment. Being able to command the attention of lower-status individuals without having to give it in return is a key aspect of privilege. African Americans for example, have to pay close attention to whites and white culture and get to know them well enough to avoid displeasing them, since whites control jobs, schools, government, the police, and most other resources and sources of power. White privilege gives little reason to pay attention to African Americans or how white privilege affects them.
In other words, as James Baldwin put it “To be white in America means not having to think about it.” We could say the same thing about maleness or any other basis for privilege. So strong is the sense of entitlement behind this luxury that males, whites, and others can feel put upon in the face of even the mildest invitation to pay attention to issues of privilege. “We shouldn’t have to look at this stuff,” they seem to say. “It isn’t fair.

Hello. I’m glad someone made the effort to create this blog.
This is me, Maddie and my son, Dylan. He’s approaching 17 months old and has more musical ability than me. He also refuses to look at the camera but trust me, he’s pretty cute.
I can’t think of any positive representations of trans people as parents. Wouldn’t it be awesome if loads of people reblogged this tumblr to show that among other things, we can raise some pretty amazing kids.
Oh my god what a babe! I need to see this, positive representations of trans parents. I can’t wait to be a mom!!! This blog is awesome.

” Now, there are newer, even more mockable “oppressions” coming out. You’ve heard of transgender and transsexual, let me introduce you to the new trans people: transabled and transethnic. Transabled people are disabled people hiding out in perfectly working bodies. They “identify” as blind, deaf, paraplegic and quadriplegic despite having never been so a day in their entire lives, and are well-known for talking about how hard it is to want to be disabled but unable to be. Transethnic people are white people who “identify” as a non-white race or ethnicity. They’re weeaboos multiplied by a million, with bonus “I learned about your culture in a book I read once so I know more than you.”
Ridicule the silly internet people, make fun of and dismiss their claims of oppression as not worth your time, but remember as you do that they’ve stolen from people who do need your help. Just because everyone is shouting at once doesn’t mean there aren’t still real voices to be heard.”
My first article is up on Thought Catalog. Hope you enjoy it, and learn from it, a little.
There is a difference between discrimination/picking on someone and oppression people…
