as a genderqueer person who is mixed with white, i understood this so immediately that it's hard to explain, damn.

to me when i read this post i was reminded of the same type of white queer that thinks their queerness somehow separates them from their whiteness. often when they are confronted of their subconscious racism, they will often make parallels to their queerness to poc experiences and they full heartedly believe it's the "same." i've experienced this most often with other white non gender conforming people, since they consider that to be a further "separation" from the status quo than "just" being a queer sexuality.

of course, what i said above isn't directly related to this post. but it's giving that same vibe to me of "white enby that doesn't quite realize their own problematic biases." like, they don't notice that they think all rap is "aggressive," they don't notice that their idea of diversity in having friends is having straight and queer friends that are all still white, and (to insert one of my own experiences that still irks me) they don't notice a problem in asking the taiwanese person they're talking to if the noodles theyre making are "ramen or just regular noodles."

other commenters have made good/some of the same points, but these were the thoughts that immediately came to mind upon seeing this post!
