I'll say here what I said on Twitter:
I actually do think it's worth pointing out how in a time of overt fascism, white trans people are also becoming more reactionary and facist overall, because that has real ramifications for Black trans people, who already bear the brunt of anti-trans violence.
I'll say that again: by every meaningful metric, Black trans people bear the brunt of transphobic violence. Not white trans people. And white trans people are not organizing en masse in any real way to change this fact.
And to be clear: White trans people are not becoming more reactionary and facist because they're trans, it's because they're white. And in a white supremacist society, white people will always be white first. Race traitors are rare, very rare. Us Black folks remaining real clear on this point is what will help to keep us safe and keep us from fates like that of Sam Nordquist.

in reply to RI DaSēr K • • •Loool over on Twitter white transfems are sputtering "but but white trans people aren't any more racist than white cis people" and like yes exactly that's the fucking problem!!!!!!! Your racism isn just as devastating as the racism coming from white cis people, you know, the type that regularly kills us??????
Marginalized white people always want to use their marginalization as a get out of jail card for their role in upholding a white supremacist society
