big problem on here is a lot of people seem to think just being transgender makes you a sensible political theorist
being transgender doesn't even make you a sensible gender theorist
Identity doesn't dictate behavior or values. We learn values and choose political commitments. Just because a person is Black, a woman, and queer or transgender (or both) does not mean one is automatically radical or a revolutionary. Being radical is a choice, and it takes work. A person with a marginalized identity can engage in conservative, oppressive political work, and activists, organizers, and intellectuals living under capitalism, colonialism, anti-Black racism, and patriarchy require years of unlearning or decolonization. Our customs, beliefs, values, behaviors, and even our bodies are shaped by the societies and powerful systems we grow up in. At best, as marginalized people, we choose to resist. At worst, we internalize oppression and live in ways that do not serve our collective liberation.

and we can actually see a fantastic example of this by searching the word "zionism" on your page, despite your many identity labels and anti-fascist self-identification
