Those people aren’t on our side.

The people I was speaking of are some black women of varying political views and some black feminists. They are definitely on the side I am on as regards women's rights, male drag, transvestism and male transgenderism. I dunno what you mean by "our side" here, nor by "those people."

Also, just to be crystal clear: I wasn't saying this is a view held by all black women and black feminists, or even most of them. It's a view I've heard from some black women and some black feminists. I personally know some black women who disagree with it. However, since some black women and black feminists have expressed this view, and they feel strongly that "womanface" is offensive and exploitative, I as an individual have decided to take their views on board and refrain from using the term - even though I personally think it's a very useful shorthand way of making the point.

It's a very big leap to go from my comments to making a sweeping statement like

Have you not seen how much hate the liberal black community has for anyone who isn’t black lately?

The way the views of the "liberal black community" are represented by the MSM and on social media today seems as accurate as the way the views of women and "feminists" are represented. Which is to say, not very accurately.

BTW, I completely agree with you that

Clothing shouldn’t be gendered and men should be able to wear whatever they want however, unfortunately, it does seem that the vast majority of men only wear women’s clothing as fetish gear. Whereas a woman will wear a mans clothing without issue, too many men wear out clothing to pop a boner.

However, I also think that only after our culture stops designating certain kinds of clothing as exclusively for female people and making it forbidden and shameful for males to wear it that such clothing will lose its erotic charge and stop giving males a boner when they wear it.

I also think we need to do a much better job at talking to boys about sex, including forewarning them that the erotic fantasies, mental scripts and masturbatory practices they engage in early in life to get themselves aroused and off usually tend to stick and become habitual. So a boy who starts off wanking in his mum's or sister's panties when he's 11 might well end up 30 years later LARPing FT as a "lady" and claiming he's a woman.
