re: #197 iossarian

I think it’s a little more nuanced than that and it goes back to the observation that the difference between exploitation and empowerment is largely down to the power dynamic at play.

It’s empowering for trans people to be able to get the haircuts they want.

It’s exploitation for some asshole MRA to demand to have access to the women-only section of your local Halloween costume store.

I have no idea what this means. I’m not being snarky either. But if some MRA asshole wants to wear a dress for Halloween, that’s entirely his right. Or am I missing something?
