Back when there were lots of Black people on here, when Black women would talk about our experiences it would be about desexualisation, hyper-sexualisation, people treating racialised misogyny as if it's not misogyny but now when Black women come up it's a bunch of whites saying Black women experience transphobia and never actually going into any detail about why Black trans women in Brazil and the US high murder and poverty rates ( it's the sex industry, white supremacy impoverishing Black people and their families kicking them out ). Cis women can never relate or experience what trans women do but somehow an entire race of them is experiencing transphobia, this isn't race related though, don't ask how because that's how the fascist win : )
Turning Black women into a modern pseudo 3rd gender because of our race ( and intersex ppl which is funny coming from the genitalia doesn't equal gender crowd) isn't wildly racist and othering because trans white people get to feel included . Now the stereotyping of Black women created by slave masters to excuse mass rape and chattel slavery wasn't dehumanisation but Black women having actual weird bodies that just don't fit because there is ONE type of 'Black body' but this isn't white supremacy
White supremacy is never the core issue for white people playing solidarity so they always get to be relevant in Black women's stories
White supremacy and the legacy of slavery is never central when these people bring up Black women just vaguely gesturing at transphobia without explaining ( why avoid race ?) even though Black men are subject to the same legacy of slavery, they're not experiencing some weird gender body thing, unlike Black women but this isn't misogynoir. This type of othering isn't racist because it's solidarity if you shut your brain off so now radiqueer whites feel comfortable bringing up Black women unprompted when they're questioned on saying something stupid. This isn't using Black women as rhetorical shields because some Black person on twitter agrees with me and is also pushing using different pronouns for when Black and white people talk to them. This person doesn't have a self hate issue and hasn't internalised being Othered because they agree with me
Almost like they're opportunistic racist that are scared of Black men so don't bring them up unless they're downplaying sexism and misogyny that Black women never experience in a "normal" way because whitey said so. Treating Black women as Othered things to compare themselves to to feel human isn't racist because they said the right combo of catchphrases and said intersectionality.
