Cotton ceiling

Common card · No. 396445

The cotton ceiling is a metaphor for the perceived marginalization or desexualization of trans women in queer erotic communities. It has been used to describe a "tendency by cisgender lesbians to outwardly include and support trans women, but draw the line at considering ever having sex with them." The phrase is derived from the term glass ceiling, a description of how women can advance to a certain level in business but are supposedly held back from any further promotion or true seniority by sexism.
