how do you think is the best way to respond to the queer theory fandom when they say shit like this: "I don’t think you can fully understand transmisogyny without understanding how it’s weaponized against cis Black women" and then go on to give examples of calling black women men. How does any of this make sense.
Claiming cis Black women experience transmisogyny is going out their way to remove racism from the conversation and invent something that does not apply to us. We have trans Black people. It's decentres Blackness cause 90% they do this to talk about their gender and feelings. It's completely self serving
How is this not normal classic standard anti-Black racism? Black women are beastly, is Stage 1 of racism. We're not reinventing the wheel. idk why so many people have convinced themselves otherwise . 'Black women aren't refined' is CLASSIC racism first edition. Black women should have never let online whites learn this because now there's never ending convos about Black women's bodies being gleefully had by white people to one up other white people. I'm so sick of it.
The trans that's relevant to cis Black women is trans-Atlantic slavery. There is no way to argue this that makes sense without validating the way slaves masters saw enslaved people as factual. Black people needed to be super strong animals so working my ancestors to death for profit seemed like a mercy, so we needed to be "civilised" and needed chattel slavery. If we're going to bring up Black women and gender and we don't start talking the propoganda whites created to justify mass rape, pedophilia and torture of enslaved Black girls and women, then when will we ? They're bringing up Black women as one size fits all tokens and go on to not talk about the Black experience or Black trans people
I want to know why they don't want to talk about racism so badly? It's a very strange way of centring whiteness because it treats how Black women are viewed as factual and not part of the oppression. They can understand why talking about Black men as strong and beastly is racist and why people focus on Black male bodies but not for us ? Why is it that cis Black men aren't also experiencing a form of transness as well ? They're dumb so repeat shit they think looks smart. These people aren't thinking . If racism disappeared, this way of viewing Black women would go but if transphobia disappeared, this way of viewing Black women would still exist. Things are interconnected but not so much that race stereotypes won't go without ending racism.
Some think, ' not seen/treated as a woman' = maleness instead of abuse. The context people ' don't treat us like women' is always because they're trying to abuse us, humiliate or use us. If they're saying we experience this, would they be comfortable if we started talking about trans stuff? Nevermind we have Black trans people.
Convos about civilising Black people do not come up because this dumb way of talking about anti-Black racism is dominant and unhelpful. Implying Blackness as a gender identity always ends up pushing race science. I know some Black people do this but I rarely come across Black people that do this who don't have a history of Black self hatred because of racist bullying. I don't think that's a healthy basis for describing identity and I don't think people newly dealing with self loathing belong at the centre of most convos because they will come to toxic conclusions

Day 245 - Staring Into The Distance
"Something Jake is prone to do sometimes is space out and just stare at seemingly nothing but the distance before him.
...this is not ideal when surrounded by potentially dangerous creatures."

[ID from ALT: Digital fullbody art of @norstrum's OCs, Iris and Wesley. Wesley is sitting on a wide stone railing with his hands resting on one leg which is propped up on the stone, with his other leg dangling down. He's leaning against a stone pillar, a mild smile on his face as he looks down towards Iris, who is standing behind the railing. Iris is smiling cheerfully back at Wesley. Tucked in his arm is a purple book, with several small bookmarks sticking out of the pages. Rays of light shine gently on the two. End ID]
Fanart!! Of the guys!!! I think they're both really cool 💜💜💜

Rowan grabbing Aelin’s hands as he has to tell her about Endovier in HoF is such a crucial detail: because he noticed, he knows her, and her specific mannerisms; their every meaning; like how her hands shake every time she is about to break.
…Every time she is trying not to be the assassin she was trained to be. Every time she is falling to pieces like the daughter of a crumbling kingdom pushed off the bridge & into the drowning river. Every time she is biting her tongue, biding her time, surviving amongst a lifetime coated in death; even as she tries to scrub it away; to hide. Every time she is nearly consumed by her own seemingly invisible flames; he sees, he understands…
And so, he holds her hands; to keep them from shaking; to keep her together; to keep them; even if he had to hold all the pieces himself. She says it herself: “Because he knew, she realized, that one of them would have to hold it together.” He does treat her grief like a plague, he does not shy away from her brokenness, he isn’t afraid of her or the darkness she carries, nor does he let her hide & carry it alone forgotten with it.
