Abstract

Abstract Trans women experience sexual violence at alarming rates; however, due to societal cisnormativity, people often remain unaware of such rates. As digital feminist movements, such as #MeToo, gain momentum, this moment represents an opportune time to illuminate how trans exclusionary discourses may exist in feminist movements. Using transfeminist theory as an analytic tool, we discuss how the #MeToo movement may displace trans women’s bodies allowing for further violence to occur. Through disrupting the phallus as the “source” of sexual violence, we hope to reduce the assumption that trans women are sexual predators. In this call to action, we invite clinicians to take a stance to end transgender oppression and advocate for transformative change.

# ThemToo吗?: #MeToo时代对跨性别女性的排斥话语

摘要跨性别妇女遭受性暴力的比率惊人；然而，由于社会的顺规范性，人们往往不知道这样的比率。随着#MeToo等数字女权主义运动的势头越来越大，这一时刻是阐明跨性别排斥话语在女权主义运动中可能存在的恰当时机。使用跨性别主义理论作为分析工具，我们讨论了#MeToo运动如何取代跨性别女性的身体，从而导致进一步的暴力事件发生。通过破坏作为性暴力“来源”的阴茎，我们希望减少跨性别女性是性侵犯者的假设。在这一行动呼吁中，我们邀请临床医生采取立场，结束跨性别压迫，倡导变革。
