This just proves again how transactivism is a very white, middle class thing... as it always has been.

The people who can't shut up about black transwhamen of color are at best concern trolling and at worse actually malicious.

They don't care, they know they don't care, but continue this stupid charade anyway because they need those opression points!

Everyone who has a bare minimum knowledge about this subject knows that the main problem black and latino MtFs face has a lot to do with prostitution and drug trafficking, not "misgendering" and people not wanting to fuck them.

The other big problem they face, and why many of them are trans, is homophobia in their own communities.

But we can't talk about that.

It's a problem they face yes but even more of an issue is that they carry over their homophobia after transitioning and then push for homophobic social change in the name of some kind of gender enlightenment.

They must really enjoy getting fucked up the arse to go through all that.

That's right. Homophobia is worse in the black community than in the white community in most western countries. Yes, there are a lot of black people who support gay rights. But there are a lot of black people and white people who oppose gay rights, with only white homophobes having their attitudes challenged by gay rights activists.

Even the black women who are at every pride and think themselves the perfect gay ally hate hate hate any slightly effeminate black man. Even someone like Donald Glover can't attract an non-gold-digging black woman because he's not thug enough for them.

Straight black women are attracted to masculinity. Well, there are exceptions, but exceptions prove the rule. To be fair, I’m a white man who’s attracted to masculine men, so I don’t fault these women. That being said, just because you’re not attracted to feminine men doesn’t mean you have to hate them.

I don't think this part is true. Dealing with these type of people is frustrating specifically because they are so emotionally invested in believing that TWOCs really are the ultimate oppressed class. They are performatively woke for the sake of presenting as morally superior but it does seem like they think that they fully buy into the narrative about how oppressed TWOC are.

The problem is that these people don't put any effort into at least trying to know better and do research into the causes and people they claim to rally around.

It always feels so superficial and fake...

It's a cult. They want to do the bare minimum and look virtuous while doing it.

A good point, well made.

This is why I, as a gay man, stayed as far away from anything Pride-related as I possibly could in June.

Same. I didn't go to a pride parade in my city. My sister, who is bisexual, went to it when her friends, who are either bisexual, non-binary who trans lesbian (straight male). It wasn't for me as a gay man.

Transpeople are not a threat to academic freedon

Yes they are, they are trying to shut down anything other than CRT / Gender Ideology indoctrination in schools.

Not even that. Look at the opposition any study faces when it's about say "maybe transing the kids isn't the best approach". Acedemic freedom is freedom to publish and study. Frankly they could be shutting down studies that benefit them that might actually help fixing problems.

They actually massproduced that shirt?

It’s the Out@UCL group, the LGBT society at University College London. My bet is that they’re struggling to justify their group’s existence in a world where the only people who are a threat to their health and safety are actually higher up the intersectional oppression pyramid than them, so they’ve tried to come up with the game winning slogan by combining multiple grifts.

I have to admit to finding shit like this quite funny for a number of years now, in 2015 a feminist group joined forces with an Islamist group to disrupt the lecture of an ex-Muslim, atheist feminist when she tried to talk about free speech, apostasy and blasphemy.

So I could see the discussion that led to those t-shirts involving discussing a way for a bunch of white guys to be bullet proof in a world, that they themselves helped birth, that largely gives no shits for white guys (gay or straight). Instead of say, calling for the liberation of Saudi, Ugandan, Iranian or Emrati gays….who face actual death.

Pride London is fucking calling out for a group to troll them by marching under a banner reading “Mohammed/Islam is right about the gays”, just to show up their hypocrisy of claiming oppression and ignoring the treatment of gay people in other countries because of the colour of the oppressors skins.

The thing about doing something for the rights of people actually being oppressed is that thoughts and prayers, and little colored flag overlays for your Twitter profile picture, are so much easier to do and quicker to give a rush of "I did a good thing, yay me" endorphins.

Actual change, on the other hand, requires sustained and genuine effort. It will almost certainly require you to pressure your government into putting pressure on the oppressing government--which will almost certainly get the anti-colonialists fired up and screaming--and to support the sort of domestic policies that can give your government the diplomatic weight to make that pressure actually mean something. It will require you to weather the backlash that the oppressing government will kick up, and that any of its supporters in other countries (but especially in your country) might try to enact.

Above all, it might require you to admit that some cultures and societies are markedly better than others, and that tearing down those better ones in a piss-ignorant attempt at "equality" is a bad thing.

What are the percentages of black Americans, black Canadians and black Britons who support transgender ideology? My guess is less than 40% in all three groups.

Back in the 1940's to the late 1970's you had to shoot a nigra 5 or 6 times to kill them. Now it's one shot and boom. They just keel over. Richard Pryor is the person that pointed this out back in the day.

It was on an 8 track tape with the "polar bear baby feets" routine.

Try New Black 2.0. Now with extra white for that suburban comfort feel without the dirty afterthoughts.
