Repeating a one-word distillation of a culture's hostility to trans women is neither countercultural nor subversive.

It is mainstream. In light of this, James' commitment to "siding with offensive artists" is hardly a laudable choice. We reject James' classification of RuPaul as transgender, as well as any implication that cisgender male drag queens are therefore entitled to use transmisogynist slurs.

Cisgender male drag queens are assigned male at birth, and they neither consider themselves to be women nor live as women in their everyday lives. Unlike trans women, they are not the ones who regularly face the consequences of widespread transphobia and transmisogyny, and they are not confronted with the fallout of normalizing transmisogynist slurs.

Likewise, Addams' statement that she "hate[s] the term 'cisgender'" shows a lack of understanding of the importance of this distinction.

We further reject Addams' argument that trans women's criticism of the use of transmisogynist slurs by cisgender drag performers is a form of "homophobia" or "hatred or derision for gay and lesbian culture. While Addams recognizes that "being trans is not a free pass to be transphobic or homophobic," she appears to believe that being gay or lesbian is indeed a free pass to be transphobic. We do not share this belief. Addams attacks trans women who object to RuPaul's slurs as "hate-filled, angry and inexperienced folks" who "hop the fence at this late stage and try to dictate our culture rather than learn and build and participate in it.

It is no point of pride to tolerate a transphobic culture. Accusing young queer trans women of trying to "dictate our culture" implies that they have less of a claim to gay and lesbian culture than Addams, and lazily dismisses legitimate objections to the harms of this culture and the attitudes it has normalized.

We ask that Calpernia Addams and Andrea James refrain from publishing further columns exhibiting this variety of homophobia, transphobia, transmisogyny, misgendering, ageism, and unwarranted hostility toward other trans women.

We further ask that The Huffington Post, Boing Boing, and other outlets refuse to give a platform to any columns endorsing such prejudice, whether by Addams and James or by others.
