Rhonda Garelick Also Thinks Caitlyn Jenner Is Bad for Feminism
I really don’t have anything to say to this that Be Scofield didn’t already say better. I’ll excerpt a little:
The attacks on Jenner’s femininity represent transmisogyny and femmephobia because there is a glaring double standard here. You won’t hear a famous cisgender female movie actress accused of being too feminine or a stereotype for wearing a dress. You won’t hear folks attacking trans men for being too handsome or dapper or embracing some “masculine stereotype.” You also won’t hear someone decry a trans man as wearing a “David Hasselhoff” type bathing suit and setting “an impossible handsome standard.” And you won’t hear buff trans men decried as “Heman” or chastized for appearing “half-naked.” No one will say “Does he have to look like a playgirl model?”
But really you should read the whole thing.
