This can’t be looked at as “oh well they were clearly wrong they were women but just marked as nonhumans because racism” it’s more complicated than that. The standard for womanhood was created around heterosexual white women and Black Woman were placed in the non woman category to be the anthesis of womanhood. To hold onto colonial concepts of gender and gender norms is to play into the gendered system that was founded on the inherent UNwomanlyness of Black women. This proves that things like having vaginas, estrogen levels, the ability to have kids under the current western gender binary, the one used to excluded trans women from womanhood, don’t actually matter when construction ideas of womanhood. I’m definitely not the first person to make this connection in the slightest and I think it’s important that cis Black Women recognize this as we try to be better allies to trans women, especially Black trans women.

Its almost like we have a biased school system that censors the accomplishments of marginalized groups to stop them from realizing that people like them have accomplished things.

this is making me like cry laughing and idk why
