'If someone refuses to recognize my personhood because of my Blackness, then they'd be a racist, simple as that. For Gray to claim that her comments are an issue of disagreement and not a transphobic attack is merely pretense.'
. The call is coming from inside of the house, because it’s time for Gray to reexamine her own issues with women. What’s “weird” is that she clearly has an issue with trans women who are doing nothing but being themselves.
Ironically, Gray’s statement is right in one very important way: whether or not trans women get gender reassignment surgery, they are still women. Your parts do not inform your gender, so changing those parts doesn’t affect a person’s claim to womanhood. The diminishing of trans women to their “parts” is dehumanizing, and the dehumanization and denial of rights to trans women is transphobic. Being a woman is not a job.
