Ignoring the hate from your brave anons, what are your thoughts on pussy hats being transphobic?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


I just heard someone present that idea for the first time a couple days ago, and I’m not sure I understand the idea behind it 100%.


I don’t claim any special insight or understanding, I’m cis and straight and white and like a lot of people like that, sometimes I can miss something problematic even if it’s staring me right in the face. 

Is the idea that it equates being a woman with having a vagina? My understanding with the hats was that the ‘pussy’ part was always playing a word game, that they were meant to look more like cat ears, hence the ‘pussy,’ or at least I have heard that many times.

I am happy to hear if I am missing your point. This stuff is important, I would never want to deliberately heap any more crap on trans folk, there’s more than enough people doing that already.

ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) My understanding is that it was cat ears, too, but also taking ownership of the term 'pussy' after what Trump said about grabbing them.
