This post is the distilled essence of everything I believe in.

In san francisco, there is a legally recognized trans district. It has trans flags hanging on lampposts and on the crosswalks, banners saying "you belong". It is also the poorest neighborhood in the city where unhoused people, sex workers, or really any vulnerable person who gets picked up by the cops get dropped off at the huge police station right in the middle of it. On one hand, it speaks to the material conditions of the so-called trans district: trans people, trans women more so and especially racialized trans women, face systemic abuses far far more than other groups and it is succinctly represented by this district. At the same time, it is a naked display of pinkwashing by liberal democracy: in the name of visibility, they have tried to appear progressive. But having a trans district doesn't address poverty, transmisogyny, or racism. And this also applies to many "queer" spaces which exist in the west, populated almost entirely by white, petty bourgeois queers. Ultimately, there can be no community when the major struggles affecting the most vulnerable members of your "community" are ignored and pinkwashing those struggles do not hide them away, it merely covers naked exploitation with a thin coat of "progressive" paint.

please stop harassing black people off this website. it's like stormfront for toddlers on here. it sucks, stop it

idk how "black people should feel welcome on this website" became something you have to say out loud. if black people aren't comfortable or safe on here then that is our failure. be anti-racist or die.

And she was right! Võ Thi Thang was sentenced in 1968, only seven years before the liberation of Ho Chi Minh city. Although she's most well known in the West for this photo and quote, she went on to have a prominent career in the Vietnamese Communist Party, even serving on the Central Committee for 10 years

hey, tumblr user anonymous here, just so you know one of your friends wants to blow up the moon so you should probably cut her out of your life and stop supporting her. yes obviously there's evidence for this, we have screenshots where she says "a lot of people think that I want to blow up the moon but that's not true", so basically she's completely mask-off about it. so yeah if you don't stop associating with her I'll have no choice but to assume that you too want to blow up the moon and I'll have to inform everyone else you associate with so they know how dangerous you are. thanks!

the rule is that if an accusation is serious enough you're not allowed to deny it no matter how flimsy the evidence is. because like what if it's true and it just happens to be the case that none of the evidence we have for it actually supports the claim being made? then you'd be defending a Bad Person! do you really want to take that risk?

hey uhh, other white dolls out there? you have to start fucking listening to black trans women. and not pithy shit like half reading and then liking their posts on social media, i mean actually hearing them out when they are framed as being in the wrong in any given conflict. im so serious you are going to get black girls socially murdered if you don’t start listening to her side of the story instead of just taking what non-black trans women say about black trans women at face value

this is coming on the heels of watching a former irl (noticeably, uncomfortably white) transfem community i used to be a part of turn on and viciously expel a black trans girl i am close with after she got into a fight, which occurred after a concerted effort from popular members of the community to isolate and bully her for calling out anti-blackness. out of respect for her wish to be done with this whole fiasco and for her privacy, im not going to get into very much detail, but there is so much more rotten, horrifically racist shit that i am leaving out so this doesn’t get come back to her and she can be left in peace. there was one thing i found particularly noteworthy and sickeningly ironic though. i watched this group of entirely non-black transfems employ every transmisogynist tactic in the book to justify this girl’s expulsion from her support system, from spurious allegations of sexual assault to painting her as crazy to whisper campaigns. i saw white trans women close rank, pick up the weapons of our oppressors, and use them to silence and attempt to socially murder a black trans woman for refusing to let racism slide. and none of this is like. novel, or unheard of, if you’ve paid any attention to anything black trans women have been saying for years. but seeing it happen first hand, in a community i was once a part of, is so disgusting and disappointing and a stark reminder of what black transfems have been telling us all along. if youre a white transfem and you are not conscious, if you are not challenging your gut reactions and biases, if you are not listening to her for gods fucking sake, you are going to side with white supremacy at the expense of your black sisters every. fucking. time.
