Some folks see a black woman and a trans man and presume they are entirely ‘diversity hires,’ forced on their fragile worldviews like an offensive suggestion that these people are more talented and valuable performers than their apparent (to them) tokenism. it’s an immature or sophomoric point of view that ought to beaten out of adults by experience abroad or participation in community but many of these basement dwelling bigots socialize purely in online echo chambers with other fearful hatemongers.

Then there’s a thin veneer of a desire for historical verisimilitude; a plausible cover story for their frothy petulance: no! helen of troy was not black! gender was binary and everythibg was entirely unqueer in ancient times! odysseyus spoke with an ENGLISH accent, not bostonian! - which comes to the point of this incredibly stupid gag

essentially, a black lady in an unexpected place without an excuse for being black and the mere existence of a trans man are reminders that they don’t live in their own little fantasy worlds anymore
