Transfeminized labor is the “dirty work” that our gender minority is thought to be good for.

why am I, as a transfem person, so up in arms about #TheBadSpace drama?
let's chat for a moment about transfeminized debt.
transfeminized debt is a term and concept originally created by transfem writer May Peterson based upon her experience in queer and social-justice-oriented spaces. you can read the thread on it here, and I've also screenshotted it with alt text below for reference.
