You’re definitely right and I understand and agree with you but also definitely important not to minimize the discrimination people of color face. But also if anything that should be all the more reason for them to not perpetuate more bigotry onto anyone else considering that they’ve probably had to deal with it firsthand as well. That makes it all the more fucked up
And last time i checked people stopped debating where you could piss, your family didn’t kick you out for being (insert race) and accepting that, and frankly your hate doesn’t just effect white trans people but the most marginalized people in the trans community who are fucking poc. They can’t find safety as easily as you they have to deal with bigotry from all fucking sides. And that bigotry includes yours. Your marginalized identity doesn’t excuse you shitting on other marginalized communities
Oh def… and yet I’ve experienced it from poc a lot and I have no idea why and I feel more hurt by it than white bigots because I’ll be out there advocating and then someone will turn around and say some shit like this and I’ll be like I’m your ally why can’t you be mine and I know like I know it’s hurting poc queer people the most and that fucks with my head in so many ways because they are not only part of my community but part of yours. I had a friend awhile back who we had this huge friend…
Break up. But some of the things she had said were foul just foul. We were drunk and walking and she turned to me and said if the police approach us let her do the talking and I obviously agreed because well black kids are often coached on how to talk to police but then she pulled out the “and this is my friend he’s trans” mind you I pass as a woman and I was like no no no don’t tell them that for the love of god if police approach us do not tell them that and she kept insisting that she should.
She went off about her ex friend who was “not trans” (this was her opinion) we actually saw them on the street their black too and she started yelling at them things and part of me wonders if they just stopped interacting with her and like detrans around her because she was foul towards them and it would just be easier to interact with her that way. And don’t get me started on the trans woman thing.
But I’ve just been sitting on this issue with her and then I went into the coffee shop like not long after the friend break up and I hear this shit and I’m like for the love of god folks… why is this so normalized in communities that based on their own experiences their own fucking experiences should understand what trans people and queer people are going through I mean seriously they have bathroom bills rn doesn’t that ring any bells…
