Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.
It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.
no white gay boy will ever reblog this, watch:
no white gay will reblog this
no white lgb person will reblog this
Oppression is intersectional, so until we ALL realize this, we are damned!!
It all starts with education. The fact that our community doesn’t know that our movement was started by trans poc is disgusting. However I can only be so mad. Where are we teaching this information? We aren’t. Normally we’d have an older generation to pass down oral histories but most were killed during the AIDS crisis. So it’s up to us. WE must be the educators and instead of shaming the uneducated, take advantage of a teachable moment and share with them the real story behind our liberation.
