They want total control over you. Not just trans people. Not just queer people. You. Everyone.

Trans people are just a scapegoat. They want total control over everyone's self expression. They want the right to mold you into their perfect little cog in their dehumanizing machine.

what you’re saying is ‘you’re only allowed to act faggy if you are willing to come out as queer. if you’re straight, or closeted, or unlabelled, or questioning, or you simply wish to keep that private, you need to start acting in an acceptably heterosexual way right now’

The answer is not to fall back on defensive tears that disempower and silence women of color because the very existence of these tears aimed in our direction is both an indictment and a punishment. White feminists have to do what they expect of men: to separate the act from the person and look at racism as they look at sexism, as a structural problem that can only begin to be solved when they stop putting their hurt feelings ahead of our material harm.

It is not enough for white women to have their hearts in the right place or to claim they don't see color and treat everyone equally. Feminism must commit to an explicitly anti-racist platform. And that means severing themselves from their historical and emotional attachment to inherent innocence and goodness."

waitin' for you side of stage, suppressing all my private rage
