1. Vínculos intrínsecos entre transfobia y capacitismo.
Exploración de la profunda conexión entre la transfobia y el capacitismo, argumentando que comparten raíces comunes en la negación de la autonomía y la imposición de normas corporales.
- "the irony is there's so much intersection between transphobia and ableism. We're on the same side.".
- "transphobia and ableism are intimately intertwined and this is the most glaring testament to that.".
- "ableism is baked into transphobia - they are the same fundamental fight and every disabled person should be actively resisting political attacks on trans people for their own safety, even if nothing else.".
2. Manifestaciones de capacitismo en la transfobia.
Análisis de cómo el capacitismo se manifiesta en actitudes y prácticas transfóbicas, especialmente en relación con la autonomía corporal y la toma de decisiones médicas.
- "the combination of ableism and transphobia i see wrt autistic and other developmentally disabled trans people is so revolting. Rampant infantilization and denial of agency.".
- "we're not convincing strangers they are incapable of making their own choices as adults for eye or knee surgery - so why are people doing that to transgender people with hormones or surgery with lower regret rates? transphobia. Ableism.".
- "this is why disabled people and trans people must be in solidarity with each other at all times - transphobia cannot exist without ableism. The idea that you have the right to another person's medical details and that your opinion on their care should carry any weight at all is ableist at its core.".
3. Experiencias interseccionales: Trans y discapacidad.
Exploración de las experiencias de personas trans con discapacidades, destacando las formas en que la transfobia y el capacitismo se combinan para crear barreras adicionales y desafíos únicos.
- "to put it in perspective, i am both a transgender man and i am disabled. While i face transphobia in life, the ableist threats are literally a daily occurrence, unavoidable both in person and online, and genuinely are a far greater threat to my safety and future.".
- "disabled trans people also exist and deal with both transphobia and ableism. These fights are not separate. We're all fighting for personal and bodily autonomy in a society that doesn't want us to exist.".
- "and that wedge ends up going right through the heads of those of us at the intersections between those groups. How do you think it feels as a disabled trans person to hear trans people dismissing disablism and disabled people dismissing transphobia? not fucking great, tbh.".
4. El capacitismo como raíz de otras formas de opresión.
Argumentación de que el capacitismo subyace a otras formas de opresión, como el racismo, el sexismo y la transfobia, al basarse en la idea de que ciertos cuerpos y mentes son inherentemente inferiores.
- "i’m still thinking about how ableism underpins all other bigotry. Because racism, transphobia, misogyny etc are all based on the idea that other races, women, trans people are less able or broken and therefore less worthy of human rights. It’s lots of intersecting fights and it’s one big fight.".
- "this is because transphobia, ableism, sexism, racism, all of these hateful ideologies are rooted in a eugenicist white supremacist patriarchy. Disabled people deserve to live with dignity and respect, with access to school and work and healthcare. Period. End of story.".
- "ableism teaches us to abandon each other. Racism will disable you. Transphobia will disable you. Long covid will disable you. Genocide will disable you. Climate change will disable you. Do not obey when told to abandon the vulnerable.".
5. La importancia de la solidaridad y la interseccionalidad.
Énfasis en la necesidad de solidaridad entre las comunidades trans y de personas con discapacidad, así como en la importancia de un enfoque interseccional para abordar la transfobia y el capacitismo de manera efectiva.
- "that said, the fights against ableism and transphobia are inextricably linked. You cannot fight ableism while also being transphobic because both struggles are about personal autonomy, consent, capacity, control, adaptation, perception and the revolution of creating your own place in the world.".
- "the intersection of transphobia and ableism is one of the most infuriating things that stand in the way of our rights.".
- "i dunno, given the massive fucking overlap between transphobia and ableism, cis disabled people are one of our major natural allies, and we should not exclude disabled trans people 'not my fight' is how trans people got in this position in the first place".
