@janisf @forpeterssake @tarheel @mekkaokereke Minorities and marginalized groups are almost by definition at a disadvantage when advocating for themselves, and the only way we combat that disadvantage is through solidarity.
Every political movement from feminism to gay rights has always been tempted to throw others under the bus in the hope that by doing so, oppressors will accept them.
It doesn't work. Oppressors don't accept the oppressed and any temporary alliance there is doomed to fail.
