cursed to be perpetually aware of

"transmisogyny targets trans women -> it also hurts trans men -> anti trans panic also hurts cis women"

"the US and Israel are commiting genocide in Gaza -> the genocide is also hurting Palestinian Christians and white tourists -> this war money could be better spent domestically"

"anti homeless architecture makes it illegal to live without a house -> it also hurts disabled people -> ableist structures also hurt abled people"

it's weird because with some of these there are genuine points to be made and it's worth discussing the full consequences of things but I can't help but be aware of the human-value-hierarchy implicit in these statements and how attention is always brought away from those who suffer most from their own oppression. it's not really surprising and it's 100% the system working as intended but you really start to see it everywhere once you look

#some of these are obviously less valid than others #the white tourist thing is much more absurd than pointing out anyi homeless architecture qlso hurts disabled people #especially sinxe q lot of homeless are disabled #but the point is they lie on a spectrum of increasingly drawing attention away from those most marginalized #intersectionality #transmisogyny #Marxism #ableism #anti homeless architecture #also im notably lacking in experience with racism (as i am white) so my representation of that specific distortion is necessarily going to #be lacking in as nuqnced an understanding as someone with first-hand experience would have #its far too important to lrave out entirely though #feel free to add more detailed experiences #goes for any one of these examples really
