This felt really meaningful for me to read today. I think I’m going to sit with it and reread it later. Frequently, even though I’m a woman, I choose to focus my learning and understanding on racism and transphobia as (I’m realizing now) those have always felt more important to me than misogyny. But misogyny and transphobia go hand in hand, and I’m thinking also of the times I’ve let men speak over me (a queer disabled woman), telling myself “there’s more important things to focus on.” I don’t know. I might come back and share some more thoughts on my re-reading.
