The cotton ceiling is a theory proposed by trans porn star and activist Drew DeVeaux to explain the experiences queer trans women have with simultaneous social inclusion and sexual exclusion within the broader queer women's communities

The "cotton" refers to underwear, implying that the contents of a trans woman's underwear (i.e., whether she has a penis) are of importance. The contents of her underwear act as an axis to oppress and marginalise her. The "ceiling" refers to the glass ceiling, a related phrase that denotes women's position within kyriarchy regardless of the gender they were assigned at birth. Both ceilings contribute to society-level inequalities such as the gender pay gap.

"sexual exclusion"

"kyriarchy"

lolll

doesn't seem that out there to me.

the problem is only lesbians are criticized for this

straight men don't get the same shit for not dating trans women and neither are str8 women and gays men aren't told off for not wanting to d8/fuck trans men

they'd hurl the same shit at bi women for any of this as well, lbr here. the focus is mostly on lesbians in arguments about it, though

but if you're a woman you're not allowed to have preferences

ia

personally i don't mind and think it's kind of a shitty reason not to d8 someone but it is suspicious that there isn't as much backlash against str8/gay men or str8 women for not d8ing trans ppl

nayrt

okay, but why should queer trans women be silent because trans men and str8 trans women don't see it as an issue? it would be pretty white of them to speak for, and over, those other groups.

lol wat does being yt have to do with this?

idk just some ppl won't want to d8 u for reasons outside of yr control. that happens to everyone.

getting d8s isn't a right?

you're not entitled to sex

lmao
