his short lived half-assed response was to whine about how he's not attracted to black women and how she deserved to be assaulted because of it.

That sounds like textbook narcissism. Jesus.

There's also expectations for black women to put up with abuse from black men or to not report it because the police might kill him or they'd be putting another black man in jail.

That is seriously so scary to think about, let alone go through. I grew up in a highly abusive household and I can't even imagine having that extra level of pressure there on people finding out.

It is for black women who support their worldview and if you don't, cool, off you go somewhere else. If you aren't a black woman, cool, that's fine, this movement is not for you. And that's where transwomen took offense.

It's like, any time there is anything remotely related to "woman", TRAs treat it like a test. Of their womanhood. Similar to how some are so fixated on dating lesbians and gay men when there are many bisexuals who would be happy to date a trans person.

That lashback racism is awful. I was reading some of the tweets posted on the account that you linked. It seems like many of the trans people lashing out are white, though, they're not even black-- not that that would be okay either, I mean, but I wonder how many white trans people get off on the power trip of supposedly being "the most marginalized group". We shouldn't even be comparing how marginalized groups are to each other anyway, like this is some kind of sick competition..

Thanks for the explanation! I appreciate it.
