Not women, black women, not transwomen, black transwomen and not non-binary genderspecials, black non-binary genderspecials.

So what’s that, about 4-5% of the US population?

I’d like to see the reasoning behind that bold claim, what services, products, sacrifices are they making that are so important to the democratic life of the US? (Other than voting en bloc for the Democrats, of course).

I mean I’m fairly sure the guys who patrol the power transmission lines and repair faults contribute more to the life of the US than any of those groups and get less appreciation. If those guys walked off the job I reckon you’ve got about 6 months before the first act of cannibalism. Would anyone even notice if all the transwomen, black and white, disappeared for a year?

No chance it is as high as 4-5% of the population. I would guess it is less than 1%. Possibly significantly less.

“Black women” were included, which is why I said 4-5%. The other categories would be tiny fractions of a percent.

Oh, my mistake. You are probably about right.

I would guess that of that 4-5% black women accounted for 99.99998%.

They're the groups who will whine the most on social media if you don't clap and tell them how special they are at random intervals, and if they whine the media will pick it up, the rest of the Democrats will think you're evil, and if they think you're evil you won't have a prayer at getting out of the primaries next time you're elected.

Same here

No, trans was like 0.1% last I saw, so this would probably 0.01%. Totally the back thread of a broken sock.

I was surprised she was still using womxyn or whatever but the tweet is from 2019. I think womxn and Latinx are thankfully dumped in the trash by now.

When SNL did a Donald Trump skit in 2020 they had him saying "Latinxas" which was pretty funny and i think the politically correct HR types were already ready to phase it out at that point.

Damn, I fell for someone farming twitter views for monetisation!

I should have checked the date.

They're still throwing the x into things, like using "folx" in this creepy as fuck book-purge-manual that came out in August for a school in Toronto: https://librariesnotlandfills.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Peel-Board-Book-Purge-Manual.pdf

Anything not super woke was memory-holed.

it was pretty funny to see them just rip each other apart over International Womxn's Day a few years back, one half just assuming "the TERFs" had come up with the term to imply trans women weren't female all the way, and the other half scuttling to cover up that it'd used to be mandatory

not so FUN, is it? having a bunch of teenagers scream in your face that a common word must be banned overnight, that it costs nothing to Just Be Nice, to constantly look over your shoulder for outside permission ever time you open your mouth like the Turpin kids

it was like watching Rowling suddenly see the mob turn against her, or that Primos actor getting ripped for saying you shouldn't have to speak Spanish properly because of conquistadors

really what'd happened is that 2013-6 everyone just gave in to whatever group was storming the administration building that day--everything they said "sounded" right, they were all on "your" side politically (or at least aesthetically leftish), and digging deeper into claims was seen as a gross sign of disrespect and aggression (showing you've already decided to doubt them--it's like swabbing down Auschwitz or digging up Native school graves)

[this ties to something TAs have noticed, that the students look at the TEACHER/TA whenever they ask a question, since they want to give the "good" answer rather than the correct one]

That last paragraph is completely unreadable.

In the beginning, there were black trans-women, they built the railroad with their own sweat and tears and lived in peace with the buffalo and cyclists, then the indians came across on their landbridge with automobiles and drove the black trans women from their land, killed the buffalo, and bankrupted the railroad!

"cattle raped?! women and children stampeded?!"

it'll be funny when the "Blacks are native to North America" weirdoes run into the "First Nations have existed here for millions of years" weirdoes: it makes the Yakub story look reasonable

I hope that tweet got ratioed to oblinion back in 2019.

Well she could be right, look how fucked up the country is.

If you've ever wondered why in some countries to this day women aren't allowed in politics...
