You’d think they’d get it, being women, and understand white people treat non-white people the way men treat women. Hahaahahaaa nope! You’ll hear all kinds of awful, homophobic, transphobic, racist shit come out of white women’s mouths when they think it’s safe to do so, just like their male counterparts.
We need an emoji for that hexbear who said something like “whiteness is the black hole all liberalism, reaction, and bigotry orbits.”
I find that white marginalized people often have this awful tendency to use their marginalized identity to make themselves total victims while avoiding all accountability for their complicity in white supremacy. I’ve gotten plenty of shit from white cishet men, of course, but I’ve also experienced totally disgusting bigotry and reactionary shit from white women, white gay people, white trans people, etc. I literally couldn’t say this more strongly: I am Black before anything else.
Have Black people been hateful towards me? Absolutely! No group of people, of course, comprises entirely of perfect saints who are devoid of a capacity for reactionary brainworms. In fact, with that in mind, I don’t have a family anymore because of this, but despite that, I’d take being in a room FULL of cishet Black people over being in a tiny circle of white queer people. I’m dead fucking serious.
I’ll take my chances with a group of random PoC before I’d trust the white half of my family. They’ll say the wildest shit when I’m standing right in front of them that makes me wonder what they say when I’m not around to push back.

And white trans women are the white women of trans women
Can confirm this TOO much.
