A lot of the discourse that trans people have, is the same talking points that people of color have been discussing for generations. You don't have to create a method for living under oppression from first principles. My top example of this is the Vanishing Half, a book about two light skinned black women who are twins. One lives her life as a black woman, the other as a white woman. I feel like this should be required reading for anyone who wants to talk about passing or being stealth.

I was talking with a Palestinian friend on my rugby team about how the white trans leadership was failing us (trans players) with the current trans ban, but the black cis women on leadership were handling it so much better. Because even if they do not have the experience of being trans, they have the experience of being discriminated against. We don't have to refigure a lot of this out, it's already out there.
