🐉being quietly blocklisted en-mass and having all trans people cast as white skinned white supremecists by default is incredibly destructive to trans bipoc if cis bipoc stand by and tolerate that narrative.
It promotes the idea that bipoc can’t be trans.
That I saw two trans bipoc folks buying into what Ro said today and unwittingly casting David, Vanta and myself as white breaks my heart.
Trans people of color have been at the forefront of queer liberation struggles since before we were calling ourselves queer. Erasing trans people of color and taking our possessions has been one of the top priorities of colonial regimes when they have taken over countries.
And here Ro has been, doing that exact same thing in front of everyone, and the couple of cis bipoc I talked to tell me my issues don’t matter, and the couple of trans bipoc I saw publicly think only white people criticize Ro.
My issues *will* be taken seriously!
