Anxious? Nah. I'm almost 40, and I'm black, and there aren't a bunch of hetero black men running around claiming to be trans lesbians in my neck of the wood. There have always been gay black men running around claiming to be trans women though... but they tend to remain in the black gay male community... they don't colonize black women's spaces. Online, some libfem TRAs recruit them for diversity purposes... such as the blackladies subreddit which is followed by one of the co-founders of Reddit, Alexis aka kn0thing aka Serena Williams' husband. But if you visit a black forum called Lipstick Alley... there are a lot of gender critical women there, one of them is a FemaleDatingStrategy (FDS) sub moderator, and that sub is considered worse than the Gender Critical sub was. Black women tend to be good gatekeepers... we aren't afraid to argue with each other and snatch each other's wigs off. 🤭 so that's why I'm not anxious... if it's one thing black people do well, it's tearing people down and making them feel ashamed to be "queer" (weird). No Mercy. 😈

Would you say that black men also feel more free to stand up to the gender nonsense bullshit and call it out? Maybe that helps keep it out of women's spaces?

It does seem like those who are at the top of the intersectional "privilege stack" (straight white men) are probably thinking, fuck that, I'm not sticking my neck out to defend anyone...

This is anecdotal so please take it as that, but, from what I've seen on social media, and the likes, I do think that many black American men aren't on board with Genderology.

Maybe it's because black men realize that, like women, they can't simply change their appearances and their oppression disappears, whereas transgenders can simply change their appearance and they're good to go.
