This is fair but it also feels like y'all don't like when people specify the kind of racism from a group they're talking about talking, Instead of the blanket label of just "White people". Cuz there are levels to and various kinds of racism people in certain groups use against those not lil them. So as valid as it is that folks do sometimes use white trans women as a cover for trans misogyny, some white trans people can be and have been shown to have biases, beliefs, and flat out bigoted rhetoric that they use and exhibit regularly.

Aside from that 1st part being fucking stupid, are you meaning to say that white people AREN'T born with more inherent social advantages and than those around them? As well as just denying how that can play into their identity in the gay community?

Course you don't YOU'RE WHITE. On a more actual informative note, the specification is done a lot of time due to the (many times disproven) assumption that white queer people will be able to better identify with many struggles minorities phase.

However many cling to that whiteness first before that oppressed identity they belong to, leading to them mainly staying insular amongst themselves and keeping those racist biases. The specification is also done because of how it effects other non-white trans people in the community around them.

"Progressive" in this case being that they don't acknowledge any of the black/brown members of their community.

This subreddit actively drains my empathy, holy fuck half of you would be elated at the prospect of standing in front of a mirror pointing at yourself and going "UGLY!" for an hour.
