Does the #meetoo movement help to encourage transgender acceptance...

[Littleg2]

I, personally, don’t think the #metoo movement will help in this case. Mostly because if there isn’t someone in your world (the royal “your”) who is part of this community, it wouldn’t even likely come up or enter one’s mind.

And, unfortunately, everyone gets harassed. Women, Men, children, the elderly, the disabled, any and all positions in society. There is no one class, breed, creed, race, etc. that is safe from it. It seems predominantly women are the focus, and I can’t begin to reason that without saying something that I’m sure at least 50% would disagree with, so I won’t. And right now, the focus of the world is Hollywood. Mainly men in power using that power to manipulate and take advantage of women. But you know what, I am sure there are women who do it too, those stories are just not surfacing at the moment. What about teachers? Female and Male have used their position unfavourably and abused it. Business men and women? The list goes on.

Yes, it’s horrible, disgraceful, disgusting and should never have been allowed to happen or continue, but I will give you all one thing to think about from my perspective; The very first person this happened to, the very first female who was told she had to do XXXXX to get what she wanted, could have said ‘No’. She could have started that movement and set that precedence a long time ago. Obviously I am not talking about women who were attacked, raped, and abused by force, but those that “felt” they weren’t in a position to say no because they wanted what they wanted, could have said no. Then the next female the same proposition was offered to could have said no, and so on and so on…

I also think for ReineD to call out to the “type of TG who behaves (or dresses) as if he or she wants to be objectified” is out of place and should not have been brought up. There are plenty of women (GG’s) out there dress provocatively (“mini-skirt, stilettos, big hair, big boobs, etc” too) and have similar fantasies of being dominated and objectified. You can’t single out a few of any one group just to make a point. You can only judge yourself, what you do in life, how you present yourself and how you represent the human race.
