The issue with the loudest voices of the trans-movement being white
Every male university student in North Korea is now under orders to get North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's distinctive hairstyle.
Okay, letâs start with this disclaimer: if you have a problem with a black cis-man calling out racism in the transgender community, then too bad. Erin and a lot of nonblack trans activist community have already got caught up with associating with Keffels and co-signing misogynoir. Today, Iâm looking out for my blackness. Fuck everybody else with the exception to Palestinians and Native Americans. Fuck everybody else tho.
The biggest issue with white trans-activists is the same with white feminists: you are white. And you underestimate how much that clouds your perspective. Looking at the comments of Erinâs skeet, and itâs crazy how long it takes for someone to point out that black hairstyles have been legally prohibited in workplace settings or in general. There are laws to police the way we dress still up today.
Not to mention that every non-white American racial minority can share the same stories of American society dictating social attire racially. Native Americans had their long hair cut in boarding schools aka reeducation camps. No hijabs laws were passed. I could go on.
Erin, this isnât âNorth Koreanâ shit. This is and always has been American shit. And because of your reluctance to actually engage with anti-white supremacist movements, you say blithely racist shit like this and look like a whole ass clown.
We can talk about how you only center white transpeople, but thatâs beyond my motherfucking purview aka I donât have the time and yall ainât paying me. Point is that the trans community has a racism problem and the moment anyone calls it out, there is this backlash against the(usually black) shotcallers who are also trans. Same goes with class reductionist socialists, feminists, and just about every other movement non-racism focused. Itâs a fucking problem.
