I’m The Big Sister No Question shirt

Behind the shame, I was somewhat proud of having to wear an I’m The Big Sister No Question shirt which was supposed to target girls. In both affirming my gender as a trans woman while also shaming me for my womanhood, a question about the place of “equality and inclusion” in our movement comes to mind. On paper, I was treated with the same disrespect as any other girl. However, we should ask for more than mere trans equality: instead, we could work toward abolishing the rules that affect all women.

We can have an I’m The Big Sister No Question shirt more important impact: dignity for everyone. It’s boys’ responsibility to not be distracted, not girls’ to cover ourselves. On a broader level, we can demand more than trans equality – for universal healthcare, prison abolition, and justice for all. This goes far beyond the targeting of women’s bodies to all aspects of our lives.
