Because I recently had to crumple up a cracKKKa who wandered into this community, uhh, let me be clear:

EM POC ONLY

Thank you. With that aside, welcome to this week’s featured EM POC thread.

How are all my comrades doing?

    Curious if any other trans people share this sentiment with me but the whole trans thing ended up being a lot less big of a deal than I thought

    It’s infinitely easier for me to find cis people who are cool with me being trans than Americans who aren’t weird about me being a minority

      I have less attachment to being transgender. I don’t really think of myself like that much. I’m just a woman and I’d like to be treated as one by the people around me. I have very little in common with almost every other trans person I have met in real life.

      Due to the nature of intersectionality, I feel as if discrimination against my blackness and my transness are already usually meshed together as one thing anyway. Sometimes, it just seems like one side of the two is emphasized far more than the other, but ultimately, to answer your question to the best of my ability: I’m generally far more comfortable hanging out with black cishet people than I am doing so with white trans/queer people.

        White trans / queer people stop obsessing over my race and tokenizening me in the most ignorant way possible… I feel you so much
