being a trans woman of color is incredible because "progressive" tme people will invoke my life and experiences to talk down to my white sisters as if they're uplifting me but when i try to speak with my own voice they pretend i dont exist

can white trans women be racist? of course. are they disproportionately racist compared to other sub-demographics of white people? not in my experience, no. my point with this post isn't to say that white trans women cannot be racist or should never be called out. instead, i hope it makes people question the motivations of some of these callouts. how genuine is the concern for poc when the one doing the callout is ignoring the voices of trans woc? it's obvious from where i stand that much of the concern about "racist trans women" is really a screen behind which pretty routine transphobia/transmisogyny is being hidden.

"White trans women have a racism problem" All white people have a racism problem dipshit. It comes free with being fucking white!

the british media are vicious jackals; in any world with a semblance of justice all of the hack rags that hounded jason arday to suicide would be closed down and their owners jailed

my idea for a historical mystery series featuring the only femboy private detective in ancient byzantium has been rejected by my publisher for being "too unrealistic, on the grounds that there ought to be dozens or even hundreds of femboy private detectives in byzantium"

For how obsessed fascists are with aesthetics, how are their aesthetics so consistently cringe?

They will 100% use this to torture people they're trying to arrest, and then when people struggle in response to the pain they will use that automatic human response as an excuse to execute them in the streets. absolutely insane to even consider giving this to any cop, let alone ICE!
