Thread from @ashermaj on Twitter that I saw Glinner retweet.
"Who would have thought that "there are two sexes and some people are homosexual" would be a controversial statement in 2020.
I've reached the point where believing otherwise is a relationship ending point. We cannot speak unless you acknowledge the reality of my existence.
I am a black woman. I don't have the luxury of living in a world of lies. My sisters in woke blue check Twitter have built careers around performing social justice for white people. Their coins depend on keeping them happy. White woke says that sex is fake so they say it too
White woke is whatever protects the ego of white males who want to be called progressive but are actually just as devoted to white male supremacy as the rest.
Let me lay this out for you. We've all been beat into submission with images of dead black Transwomen. We're told their deaths are the result of transphobia. We're told that keeping them safe means making sex work safe.
But we never ever discuss the heart of the issue, do we.
- Why are they doing sex work
- Do they want to do sex work
- What can we do to give them a choice if they don't
White male professionals making six figures using the deaths of black male STREET sex workers to create a world of their choosing is the ultimate colonial insult.
Ppl don't understand the depth of my anger at this racist, colonial bull. Is sex work all you trans supporting white people think black Transwomen are good for? If you respected them as human beings you'd work towards a world where gender non-conforming black males could thrive
But no, you don't. No one does. No one discusses the plain old homophobia at the heart of the deaths of black Transwomen. We don't discuss that because we'd then have to face the uncomfortable truth that most black Transwomen are males sexually attracted to other males.
The white ones though, most of them like women. And that makes for some interesting conversations, doesnt it? I can understand how being same sex attracted in a deeply homophobic culture would lead to wanting to transition. I understand that one PERSONALLY.
But the white opposite sex attracted ones? What is their excuse. They aren't gay. They don't have dysphoria based on the amount they talk about their penises.
Let me fill you in on something people with dysphoria don't talk about the organs they hate.
I have an issue with my breasts. I developed early and was teased unmercifully about their size for years. I developed a hang up about it. These days we would call that hang up dsyphoria. I rarely discuss my breasts. People leering at my cleavage makes me uncomfortable.
I don't sexualize my breasts. I've chosen to work on being comfortable with my breasts because my life partner likes them, and because they're on my body.
People uncomfortable with their penises don't talk about penises as much as white opposite sex attracted Transwomen do.
It's almost as if they are heterosexuals who don't have discomfort with their male bodies at all. Think about that for a sec. Think about what that means when those people demand access to the spaces both physical and legal carved out for females.
Miss me with any hot takes on sex when you haven't sat down and thought this thing through."
