Just finished reading this essay by Talia Bhatt on (among other things) the ways western academia discusses transmisogyny in peripheral nations. It's really really good! Huge recommend.

@AppleAmps This was an amazing, enriching read! The debunking of a harmful established work/mythos from someone with authentic lived experience is one of my favorites things to read about. Also the criticism of the West™ was great.
“I do not know how to explain to learned academics that sexual objectification and reproductive exploitation were not innovations that the West pioneered”
And very enlightening on the patriarcal orientalist origin of “the third sex”
“Across the globe, transfeminized individuals from disparate cultures are united by their shared struggles for legibility, set against hegemonies that seek to dehumanize, delegitimize, and degender us, keeping crucial healthcare and the very means of survival out of our hands.”
TY very much for sharing!
