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.
