   Just a heads up, I'm not going to stop talking about the treatment I & others have been met with on this platform for the past few days. The gender binary is white supremacist violence against all Black people, including Black cis folks, but it impacts Black trans folks the most.

   White trans people writ large are able to wield the gender binary against Black trans folks in a manner we are systemically incapable of doing against them. And you can see proof imof it every day.

   Many of you believe that whiteness allows you license to deny my femininity, my body, my very personhood without consequences, but you are wrong. You don't get to just do those things to us and get away with it.

   You will regret it.

     @tillshadeisgone when the assholes start acting up like that, remind them exactly who the fuck got stonewall going.

     @tillshadeisgone Some people have also forgotten that disproportionate violence against trans femmes is against *Black and other POC* trans femmes. Decrying threats against trans women while ignoring race makes no sense

     (I know you absolutely know this, so not directed your way--but it's been absent in too much discourse I've seen)

     @inquiline this is how I know the bullshit about how much more privileged the TBS involved queers are than the white trans racists are is just complete bunk.
