@AraNinetailed@PeekMyMind@femmestrait@SheriBarth74363@napowars “the first slave owners” weren’t doing chattel slavery, enslaving children from birth, they were prisoners of war put to work.
not exactly moral, but not the same as creating an entire country based off a slave class that is practically exclusive to skin color.
@imlikethewater@extrarichkitty@btwntwinpeaks misogynistic men don’t typically say “you annoy me when you open your mouth because you’re a woman” they just get annoyed and make our lives worse.
you’re being a little obtuse.
@ProudDengist@GwenTheCrankhog@LiquidGoth yeah maybe if your beauty standards are the same as a white supremacist?
soft tissue is way more important than bone structure. eat a fucking burger.
@thePrettyProof@Qveen_Potato it’s a sign at a protest where white trans people blocked a black trans woman from speaking. not an attempt at a nuanced discussion.
part of reading comprehension is the ability to understand the context of the situation without it having to be spelled out in 1,000 characters
When a bipoc person is talking about intersectionality, it behooves you to put yourself in their shoes before immediately treating their words as a personal attack.
When a trans woc says “white trans people are oppressors too,” don’t just fixate on how harsh the wording sounds to you. Stop and ask why she would feel the need to say it. What experiences, patterns, or forms of marginalization is she trying to articulate?
You can disagree with her wording or ask for clarification without making the entire conversation about your own hurt feelings. Intersectionality requires understanding that being oppressed in one axis of identity does not magically make someone incapable of benefiting from, or participating in, oppression along another.
And harassing her off the platform because her message made you angry is ironically a pretty damn good demonstration of why she was talking about power and intersectionality in the first place.
