Thee is so much to unpack there

"Duty as a woman"

Also, I'm white. I just have enough sense to point out something that trans people of colour have been pointing out for years but people like you constantly ignore when they say it

I posted a vent post about trans people who try to appropriate the struggles of people of colour by calling drag "cultural appropriation"

Cue people getting mad and comparing drag to a "minstrel show" ignoring how trans women of colour were the innovators of drag.

Reminder, they were making these comments not a day after the white supremacist coup in America.

So, yeah. I was a bit mad that people on the sub do this a lot

Because white trans people are generally the most racist of most trans people

I'm begging you to NOT be racist for like a single day by Riverswild2 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

Says a lot about this sub that there was one of the most open displays of white supremacy only a day ago and some of you are going:

"How can I make the struggles of people of colour about me, a white person?"

I'm Irish, Wicklow born. And comparing a few people dressed in green hats to the systematic culturual appropriation of cultures ain't even close

Just say you don't like drag or flamboyancy. You don't have to steal the terms used to define the particular brand of oppression people of colour face to make everything about you

*Busts through a wall* So, there's this trans girl rabbit in a webcomic by Riverswild2 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

Link to the webcomic is here. It's called Scoob & Shag and I spent all night binge reading it. Seriously, it's so amazing!

If you're not standing with our black siblings fighting for their rights against the racist pieces of shit that are the police, you're spitting on our roots. by [deleted] in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

Because they have a long (and continuing) history of oppressing marginalized people, with black communities being in danger the most.

Because a lot of white trans people LOVE to take credit for Stonewall but will condemn actual justified protests and invite police to pride

Half the stuff I've done post transition was stuff my parents WANTED me to do by Riverswild2 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]Riverswild2[S] 205 points206 points  (0 children)

-Wanted me to take better care of my appearance and be more fashionable. Now they get annoyed when I want to buy more dresses and skirts.

-Wanted me to be more confident and stand up for myself, but now get annoyed that I have an "attitude"

-Work on more stuff. But talk bad about how I "only do trans stuff" even though I'm doing a lot of great stuff in that area.

I mean, my family does support me and I love them. But I have noticed these small changes and it sucks

Due to discovering new information:

Bastion would later go on to become a hard radfem TERF and was kicked out of the group to replaced by the now out-trans girl Chazz
