Can transgender people be transphobic? They most certainly can, according to Trans Express, a blog edited by Jack Molay, a transgender activist in Norway. Molay writes in Trans Express that on their life journeys, many trans people go through periods where internalized transphobia causes shame, guilt and confusion. But what is not is understandable is when trans activists start using anti-trans talking points against other trans people, in attempts at distancing themselves from other parts of the transgender community. According to Molay, that's exactly what transgender activist and porn star Buck Angel and his friends have done in their “Trans Men Fight Back” letter, which was recently posted over at Gender Dysphoria Alliance Canada. The letter, Molay writes, is a list of anti-trans talking points, which could have all been copied from any TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) web site out there. The whole point seems to be to distance straight trans men like themselves from lesbian and bisexual transgender women. Like TERFs and right wing extremists they use the transphobic and debunked “autogynephilia” theory of Ray Blanchard, presenting transgender women as deceitful sexual perverts. They misgender trans women. They support conversion therapy for trans kids and adults. They use the LGB acronym instead of LGBT, a trick normally used by transphobic gay and lesbian people. Molay asks readers to "make note of the names Aaron Kimberly, Scott Newgent, Buck Angel, Ken Pirie, and Aaron Terell." Molay writes, "These trans men are now actively harming the lives of other transgender people. They do not speak for the transmasculine community, they do not represent the FTM community and they have little to zero support in the transgender community. Other trans activists are actively fighting back against this betrayal.”
