#Rachel Dolezal

[archive-blep]

I genuinely still don’t get how we can pretty much universally recognize that what Rachel Dolezal did was delusional and racist to Black people, but nobody can explain how that’s any different from what transwomen are doing to women right now

New Rachel Dolezal just dropped:

Far be it from me to point out the obvious, but there is a certain irony in a clinic dedicated to helping people pretend that they are something they very objectively are not getting mad at an employee for pretending to be something she very objectively is not. I also love that they've painted themselves into such a stupid idpol corner that they can't fire her either.

It is genuinely hypocritical that the transgender community refuses to support or indeed even acknowledge the transrace community. Real "kicking the ladder out from under you" vibes. I actually have more respect for "all trans ids are valid" tumblr weirdos who support things like transrace, transage, transabled etc. than I do people who work at gender clinics. Because at least the tumblr weirdos are consistent in their stupid belief that identifying as something means that you have become that something.

As someone born and raised in Tucson I need you all to know. She was working in one of the whitest, wealthiest parts of the city. Lmao. I need a fucking drink

Investigating Buffy Sainte-Marie’s claims to Indigenous ancestry - The Fifth Estate

[cjbolan]

Up to page 62 of RF Kuang’s Yellowface . Yet again I can very much relate to June, on 2 accounts.

I also lived in a lot of different places due to my dad’s work.

As a mixed-race ABC I also was heavily judged for being “not Chinese”. From some blatant ways like my university’s Asian student group telling me as a bad joke “you’re not a pure-blood…” (they did apologize to me later), to random statements like “you don’t look Chinese” or “but you’re half Chinese”, to creepy behaviors like strangers staring at me in public.

As much as I condemn June’s actions, I think she has valid concerns about the “own voices” stance. I agree more people should write about their own culture, but why should people only write about their own? Where’s the harm in doing deep research into a culture that isn’t your own?Can mixed people like me depict cultures they’re not 100% in, or is that also not their own? How far will you go if you have to prove a culture/subject are your “own”? Reminds me of how people like Sacheen Littlefeather and Ian Ousley lied about their tribal membership to achieve their fame. Or Rachel Dolezal who lied about being Black in order to speak on matters specific to Black people.

She is still cosplaying as a black person.

Lady, everyone knows your story. Everyone knows you're not black. It's gotta be a mental illness, cause I just don't get it.

Lady C & Kamala's Jamaican Roots

Lady C's friend confirmed that the photograph in Kamala's book is NOT a photograph of the Miss Beryl she knew in her Jamaican village where Kamala claimed to be visiting her "grandmother."

It was Judge Joe Brown who initially exposed to the world that he personally knows Kamala's father who denied African ancestry. Kamala's father identifies as CAUCASIAN: Irish and Hindu.

Cosplaying her Ancestry. Sound Familiar? 🤔

[isaacsapphire]

Sure you can divest of your white privalege. Rachel Dolezal did.

We know her name because she didn't.

[cuntyko]

so you're telling me this is not the same person ?

It’s hilarious how the underlying ideology of feminism (insofar as there is a feminist ideology more complex than “Women should have more power”) that was bashed together in the 60s and 70s by left wing women, who noticed that they were being shafted figuratively and often literally by left wing men in all the ways their organization was supposed to be fighting against when it was done to whatever identity they were leftist in favor of, is just boilerplate Oppressed Class leftism.

Like, the implications to be taken from this line of thought of “TERFs are bad and TERFism is a direct and logical consequence of the underlying Oppressed Class leftism feminism is built on” are fairly obvious.

look, it's pretty straightforward: terfs hate men, and see trans women as men; they also have some additional hatred for trans women because they see them as men who are trying to infiltrate women's spaces. This pathway to transphobia is what makes them different from e.g. religiously-motivated transphobes, or the whole "anti gender ideology" far right who see feminism + gay rights + trans rights + immigration as part of a conspiracy by (((elites))) to undermine the white race. Terfs are worth remarking on because they are a "left" path to transphobia rather than a right-wing path, and their ideology (grounded in patriarchy theory, the analysis that men constitute a ruling class over women, or possibly a colonial power) has some currency in even the trans-inclusive left.

I don't really understand the utility of denying this very obvious fact. I guess some people want to keep around a (stupid) politics based on seeing cis men as uniformly an enemy. But like you don't need to do that at all lol, and it's probably impossible to construct a consistently trans-inclusive politics on the basis of patriarchy theory.

I'll never forget when I was struggling with my weight and PCOS the most a Native American woman said that since I also have Indigenous blood wheat is probably spiking my blood sugar and inflammation and when I cut out most wheat I felt better than I had in years and then a month or so later it came out that she was WHITE and had multiple procedures done to look indigenous and she was like part of a Native American rights group and when she was outed she disappeared. It was found out that her beadwork wasn't actually hers she'd buy it and resell it, and when I'd show her my lil macrame tapestries she'd give good feedback and show me "her work" even tho it wasn't hers???

But like thanks for the tip weird girlie xx
