I hesitate to call what has culturally happened to Michelle Obama transmisogynoir, but I would absolutely call it anti-Black transmisogyny. The insistence over the last decade+ that this Black woman in a position of institutional influence and power is secretly a man is fundamentally rooted anti-Black racism and transmisogyny, and Michelle Obama sits at that intersection of targeted bigotry. There's nothing to argue against there that's just a fact of the situation.

Reminder that you don't have to call yourself AMAB or AFAB. You don't have to say "I'm AFAB nonbinary." Saying "I'm nonbinary" is enough. You don't need to identify with what you were assigned as by some doctor however many years ago. Mentioning your ASAB is scarcely relevant to most conversations, even those about medical transitioning.

Your Juneteenth reminder that just because they made it a "national holiday," it's still not. It's for the celebration of Black Americans being freed from slavery, finally.

Bringing this back on Juneteenth because making Black observations a national holiday didn't and doesn't end racism and the nonblacks are more insufferable than they have been in my lifetime about Black American people and our things.

Trans radfems referring to themselves as transfeminists is doing the same damage as cis radfems insisting they are the "true feminists" cause you got people pointing to the most transphobic trans people with a modicum of online following and going "ugh, this is what transfeminism has become" NO! It hasn't! The same people who ostracized and harassed the person responsible for the word (Emi Koyama) becoming part of our lexicon are trying to take the word for themselves when transfeminist theory is still alive and well outside these radfem spaces! Do not let every reactionary wave discredit the decades of work done by actual intersectional transfeminists

I can't get over how Sinners is such a rich text on assimilation and whiteness and the dangers of "civility" and music as a way to look both forward and back
