Hello how are you?



The way I'm not surprised at this point seeing how white trans girls and white queers will always bring about a loud crowd. Some kinda material improvements to those unfortunately affected by hate crimes or the threat of it. Though I've seen rich girls been given more money who then face no consequence for pocketing it.

Time and time again popularity contests determine whose getting funded and those in the anglo-sphere will chose those who look like them. Will they ever think twice about this? No, lol.

Seeing how black trans women are ignored, even in death. Even post-discourse about how we're ignored (don't worry we'll even be more ignored after numerous block-lists get us angry negros who perform the daring rudeness of asking that our backs aren't trampled on). A tinge of rightous anger sparks, but a wave of normalcy just washes over.

"Just another Tuesday"

What the fuck is this point of this.

I get really frustrated when I bring up how black and other POCs get shafted, systematically, in just about every single process in the United States, and the response is "well but it's getting better!" or even worse "They're doing better than whites nowadays, look at all the special things just for them they get!"

Like, ugh. The propaganda is so fucking ingrained on this one. I guess this is autism brain talking, but I will never understand what is wrong with people and society at large that even makes discrimination a thing in the first place. It doesn't make logical sense to me.

Sorry, I know this isn't helpful, I'm just getting angry too. I guess, to be slightly more positive, I empathize with your pain and I wish I could do something to share the burden of it (full disclosure: white, cis and male myself). If you want someone to talk to, I can give you my discord information.

Not even American, lol. Largely commenting on the atrocities of a neighbouring country...that's also an empire that exports its culture war shit around the world. Rise of fascism around the world and increasing hatred of trans people and shit.

My country is a good lot worse for Queer, very Christian nation. Yea colonization and its aftermaths! At least being in a largely black nation means I don't have the daily grinding of bones that is racism. Silver lining and all that.
