Historically, Black people were expected to perform for whites. The "entertainment only" trope rose to dehumanize Blacks. #Blackfirsts outside of the field of entertainment continue to be showcased as exceptions to the rule "entertainment and sports" only.

@TransMindful @Jemmy551 This comment also discredits the actual experience of transpeople all over the world because it diminishes their credibility. By associating this site, this comment with their movement. #keepArethanameoutchamouff #cancelTrandsMindful

@TransMindful I just reported this tweet. This report is for everyone on Twitter. They're being shown misleading info.
⁦@TransMindful⁩ might be violating Twitter's misleading information rule. #KeepArethanameoutchamouff

@TransMindful I'm not surprised. Words have power - true/not. Aretha Franklin icon. Not just a black & female icon, she's a national treasure. Joke or not this site there is no reason to besmirch her name or character in jest. #cancelTransMindful #handsoffAretha #KeepArethanameoutchamouff

There's an air of vindication when women hit males. Women know women who hit there's this "sisterhood" cone of silence in which many women stand in solidarity. These 2 things w/systemic abuse leave men unable to protect themselves & their children.
