This episode addresses trans-misogyny within the leather community, an issue that demands our attention. As a trans/non-binary person, I've personally experienced discrimination, exclusion, and violence for living authentically in this space. The fetishization of gender frequently leads to the erasure of trans and non-binary individuals, reinforcing harmful stereotypes and marginalizing our experiences.Through sharing my experiences, my goal is to highlight the systemic oppression faced by transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals in this community, and to seek accountability from those who claim to value inclusivity and diversity. It's crucial that we confront trans-misogyny within the leather community to foster a more inclusive environment for everyone, regardless of gender identity.
