#MeToo
I find it very strange that this isn't a bigger topic on our forums. Just ran a search on this and another forum: this topic has been the ONLY hit on both. How come?
There has been a backlash against #MeToo in the media, of POC and others, that #MeToo overly reflects wealthy, white cishet women. Judging by the rather low number of topics on the issue in our 'scene', that seems to be the case. But even then: why no outcry on our side?
Could it be a reflection of the kind of people that frequent these forums? Of course we ALL get to deal with unwanted sexual advances at some point in our lives. You don't have to be read as a woman for that, as some people in this topic have aptly pointed out.
But: looking at my life, I'm post-op and have a good passing, my life doesn't revolve around trans* issues a lot anymore. In effect, my visits to this forum have diminished, and it's relatively late on in the whole #metoo thing that I even thought about paying you guys here a visit. I did, however, have longer discussions with people on other forums and boards, and in 'real life' about this topic.
In any case: why is there no bigger outcry on our end? #MeToo is about (male) sexual misconduct, and we get to see/feel that a lot too!!
