also, yeah, i was angry at you and other people for being so oppressive about transabled and transethnic identities. i am angry at a lot of people, at the general ~consensus~ as it seems to be, to have this instant reaction of oppressive revulsion and anger. i don’t think it’s right that this is what is happening. so every time you find out that an identity you have never heard of before actually exists, you’re going to attempt to police it, to say that it doesn’t deserve to exist, that people with that identity are wrong and lying?

that’s really not okay. it’s horrible and oppressive and demeaning and cruel, and it is a sign of privilege. i wish we would all stop this identity policing in our movements, i really do.

oh, and then, those of us who are privileged, you’re / we’re going to say things like “well i’m white so i can’t talk about transethnic identities” or “i’m abled so i can’t talk about transabled identities” or “i’m thin so i can’t talk about transfat identities” but in your / our so-called silence and “neutrality,” you / we are siding with oppressors, you / we are pretending that somehow your, or our, privilege isn’t already inherently evident in the whole thing, whether we / you speak about it or not.

i wish at least you / we wouldn’t proclaim how we’re not going to talk about the things we’re privileged in, as if it’s some great thing to do. it’s not. nothing that we do out of our privilege is ever a great thing. certainly, proclaiming our efforts to be accountable or whatever, is just yet another disgusting display of privilege.

i do think it is complicated, the intersections and layerings of dis/privileges between, for example, transethnic people of colour and cisethnic people of colour. similarly for transfat people and cisfat people, transabled disabled people and cisdisabled people. i think maybe we should try to talk about the complexity, if we can? rather than being oppressive and dismissive and erasing and outright terrible about all of this.

If you are not Black, do not call your self Black. This isn’t oppressive or even close to kyriahcy and to tell some privilege fucker to stop pissing all over my Blacknees. White people need to get the fuck out of my Blackness. I don’t have time to waste worrying about assholes that won’t experience actual racial oppression

I don’t identify as Black, I AM Black. So tranracial people and all this other shit needs to stop. There has never been systems in place to oppress bored white children that think they are Black or Asian. 

“that’s really not okay. it’s horrible and oppressive and demeaning and cruel, and it is a sign of privilege.”

What the fuck kinda privilege comes with being Black? Tell me now! 

Having white children running around saying they’re Black is getting in my way and other Black and POC ways of fighting against ACTUAL oppression that exists against us so excuse me i don’t give a shit about people that feel that they are Black or disable— i’m to busy surviving in a white supremacist society and dealing with stuff to fuck me over

I’m fucking sick of white people and their bullshit. You want to side with people that don’t experience any oppression because of X and tell people that lives in a society set up with ACTUAL oppressive stuff in place that being that is a privilege? When has being Black ever been a privilege? and then to say i’m supporting the white supremacist structures that is destroying my community…You’re a revolting piece of shit. 

Someone come get this white child 

I cannot believe this person basically said “If you were born black you are privileged in comparison to people who were born white and wish they were black.”
I know the comment above just said what I’m saying, but I’m in such shock that I had to type it out for myself to see if that was really a thing that was able to be typed. 

Wooooooooooow. Op, please,

i thought ppl i followed was agreeing with this dumb broad i was like, wow its nice knowing some of yall tbh

so relieved rn i was wrong when i read further
