What a way to commemorate black history month, Laverne.

Trans ideologues' borrowing from other civil rights movements and appropriating other groups' experience and traumas is getting so absurd. Since the claim that "misgendering is violence" is old hat now, I wonder when they're gonna start saying "misgendering is lynching."

'Divide and conquer' is exactly what TRAs are doing with the use of the TERF slur

It's refreshing that this sort of insane and offensive claim is at least coming from someone who's black and not just another white dude. Still, the claim itself is batshit

A lot of prominent TRAs who are black and "of color" in other ways have long used rhetoric likening sex segregation to racial segregation in the US during Jim Crow and South Africa during apartheid. Munroe Bergdorf, Kat Blaque, Indya Moore, Shea Diamond, Alok Vain-Menon...

Funny, though, sex segregation in Western countries gets these guys' backs up a whole lot more than the racism and ethnic discrimination and abuse still rife in countries like India, China and Saudi Arabia.

They must have figured out it sounds better coming from a black person rather than a white multimillionaire… the comparison's still bullshit though ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Luckily they are minority so I don't have to meet too many of them. By contrast there are a lot more black people struggling whose lives are hard enough without dealing with the bourgeois agenda of transpeople, who are often white. There's a reason Castro put them in jails in Cuba. They represented the white upperclass decadence. Perhaps one sideffect of the trans movement will be people learning spanish to get away from the barminess of english.

Guy's name is Laverne Cox. Yes, trans is a serious issue and is in no way a fetish...
