By affirming trans women we are affirming all women, particularly women of color.

Oh shut up you weird little man.

Just any old random causes can be added to your word soup to really spice up the flavour:

"By donating to the Red Cross, you're helping everyone, especially victims of female circumcision."
"Vote Yes on proposition 629, allowing people to record your conversations without your permission, to acknowledge the struggle of trans people."
"When I masturbate on the children's playground, what I'm really doing to reaching out to everyone, particularly lesbians of colour."

but you physically can't reach out to ANYONE when doing that

It sounds like you were blessed to require both hands, sir.

just reach out and stain someone

reaching out to everyone, particularly lesbians of colour.".

You love everyone... But you love these ones intensely.

He's literally saying black women look like men and getting cheered for it.

I know, and it's far from the first time I've heard that talking point. I swear the far left is just as racist as the far right, and just as fanatical about their fantastical worldview.

It's TEDx. It's the cheap 2-dollar whore of TED talks.

The Chinese knockoff version, even.

That's the only one I could think of too. A Theodora Talk sounds terrible. Like, I'd rather go through a rectal exam than sit through a Theodora Talk.
