Kinda sick and tired of people treating racism like itâs no big deal, and specifically especially sick and tired of people blindly crying âtransmisogynistic harassmentâ whenever someone criticizes their favorite white trans woman for her racism.
More people are talking about TADCâs leaks in sympathy for Gooseworx than they are about her being silent on how she participated in racist jokes other than implying it was not âgenuineâ racism. Nobody seems to bring up Patricia âI am also limited in my ability to racially oppress due to being trans and disabledâ Taxxonâs consistent racism, despite her becoming relevant again due to the latest incident with Hbomberguy. A lot of popular transfem bloggers on Tumblr have a history of racism too, but God forbid you bring it up.
I feel fucking crazy. What happened to âyou are white before you are anything elseâ? So many popular trans women on here are specifically white trans women who youâre not allowed to point out have said racist shit that they still stand by, or youâre the bad person. Youâre overreacting. Youâre harassing a poor innocent white woman over nothing that actually matters, and you need to touch grass and learn what a real problem is. These women are allowed to wield their white woman tears by crying about how oppressed they are and how hard their lives are and how everybody is out to get them when criticized for racism, and people just BUY IT?? Not just buy it, but ENFORCE IT, harass others who DONâT buy it, accuse the ones who donât buy it of, and I quote, LYNCHING her.
White trans women are not less likely to be racist than any other type of white person, but theyâre treated like they are, and the notion they could be racist is treated as inherently ridiculous, defamatory, and transmisogynistic.
I think that some people need to come to grips with the fact that some of these women are blatantly, openly racist, and hide behind their disabilities/mental illnesses and their transness. We cannot be positioning white trans women as an authority on all systems of oppression, because white trans women are not the modern martyr for the oppressed voice. Black trans women have felt everything they have, 100 times worse. White trans womenâs suffering is real, but suffering as a white woman is just so much different. And if we want the trans community to be safe for POC, we need to start actually calling racism from trans people out, instead of being the girl who cried transmisogynistic harassment campaign.
But this is the website that says a term coined by a Black trans woman to call out racism from white members of the transfem community is inherently transmisogynistic (even a transmisogynistic slur) and should never be used. So maybe Iâm just talking to a (very racist) brick wall here.
