like if your immediate response when a person of color is ranting abt how white ppl are this or that is to go "UM ACTUALLY DONT GENERALIZE YOUR WORDS ARE HARMFUL" ur a part of the problem. u ARE the problem
what is it with old white ladies thinking that young poc have to help them?
yesterday at the airport this lady asked me where rideshare pick up was. i told her i didn’t know, i was also a visitor to this particular airport and this fucker had the gall to say “of course you don’t know” under her breath as she walked away.
we (poc) don’t exist to be your in person help desk. go ask a white person for help.

Seeing AAVE stolen and weaponized time and time again by the far-right and used as dogwhistles is appalling. Anytime you hear a right-wing nut job say "woke," just replace it with a slur, and you get the real story.
When discussing things like privilege and oppression, people seem to have one of two ideas about transmasculinity depending on what suits them best at the moment. They either picture a passing masculine trans man or a femme-presenting non-binary person. Both of these prototypes are skinny and White and relatively palatable to the general public. They find it easy to paint both as basically having cis privilege anyway, just wanting to play up their oppression to make people feel bad for them or excuse their (trans)misogyny. They’ll call the former a misogynistic dangerous Aiden and the latter a basically cis theyfab. There’s no room at all for people like me, people on T but still perceived as a butch lesbian. Closeted transmascs. Intersex transmascs. Multigender transmascs. Gnc transmascs who’ll wear a beard and a dress, but are allegedly exempt from experiencing transmisogyny. And yet even those two prototypes still get discriminated against, assaulted, and killed in cold blood. But that must have been despite their male/cis privilege.
It’s funny that those narratives are so dominant. Have you considered you’re seeing transmascs as privileged because you’re only hearing from the most privileged transmascs? That the handful of skinny White transmasc youtubers and musicians and celebrities you can name only got that far because they fit the picture? But invisibility is a privilege, so I guess the rest of us should shut up and be grateful.

I dont think we as a society do enough with the fact that in current dc continuity the original story of how Damian was born is canon and that technically includes the bit were Talia gives Damian up for adoption as she thought that would be what's best for him bc there's a lot that can be done with this
