If your idea or praxis of a trans community is not inclusive and welcoming to people who refuse to, or are incapable of, defining their gender or who refuse to disclose their asab or who are intersex or who have non-western relationships with gender - then that's just shifting the bounds of oppression around a bit. It's not getting rid of it.
Think bigger. Break down walls of oppression completely! It is possible. Just try and keep trying, it gets easier with practice. Make more space, create freedom in your hearts, in your spaces, in thoughts and discourse and action, spread it in the world wherever you can.

CW: subtooting middle class fedi ppl, long angry appeal to put your money where your mouth is
It is fucking disgusting to see so many marginalised people beg for money to survive and barely get by (if at all) while knowing that most of y'all are affluent white middle class people. This place stinks with middle-classness.
And... Maybe some people get enough donations to survive, to barely scrape by, to not-quite-die — but they are being kept down in that state of continually having to scramble to survive. Never recover, never getting enough to be stable, to get on their feet, to be in a place where they could earn their own money (if that is feasable or a goal), never getting the means of production (a proper laptop and maybe mic/camera setup would make a world of difference to many ppl, including me).
Never to thrive.
You are handing out crumbs because you don't want to see people literally die on your doorsteps, but you DO keep them in poverty, despair and dependant on more charity.
You deny marginalised people the means of production.
You enforce classism.
When we all know that collectively, "we" could easily pay off each other's mutual aid requests and give more, because everyone always asks for too little because it is difficult and draining to have to ask at all.
Why are you perpetuating *artificial scarcity*? It is not necessary. It is a culmination of a thousand little choices, each one rooted in complacency, selfishness, classism, capitalism, ableism, racism, queer-hate and willful ignorance.
If you know where the money for next months rent, bills and food will come from, you are privileged. Many never have that safety and stability. But don't feel bad. It is GOOD that many others do have safety. But if you have more, then just fucking share, you selfish fucks.
