these people are basically saying everything is a choice atp
the point is that transitioning is a choice. you are choosing to be visibly queer. by choice. you’re making the decision. being black isn’t a choice. there’s no decision making in being a poc. what don’t you get?

This entire thread is disheartening; a bunch of black people telling queer people (often black too) that being in the shadows and not being able to be who they are is a "privilege".
well some of us are trans and actually visibly queer and thus cannot just "hide" it. it's almost like you're more privileged in this respect. some of us cannot hide either our blackness or our queerness!

Its also not lost on me that the black trans people in this conversation are being deliberately, maliciously painted as white in order to exclude them. Black trans people are tossed aside in trans communities and tossed aside in black communities
Replying to @fromkdwithluv
Why are white queers comparing anything when Black queer folk literally experience both

Transition is a choice in the same way opening your parachute is a choice when you go skydiving

I find the whole “which type of oppression is worse” debates silly but to believe homophobia isn’t systemic you’ll have to have such a narrow definition of “systemic” as to make it entirely useless.
Replying to @cntyvrgo
homophobia is not a form of systemic oppression and in the instances where it IS systemic it’s a result of misogyny

long covid is hilarious because all the evidence we have says that it exists and not only does it exist but it’s extremely widespread and serious and yet we collectively refuse to acknowledge this reality because the bottom would fall out of the stock market if we did

You want the privilege of manhood societally while also not giving up your oppression points in your niche queer social circles Let me guess, youre white?

Talarico is for Texans. Paxton is for himself and someone else in DC. Texans for Talarico. Don’t DC our Texas!
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), quoted by Politico “I’ve never been in a race where I felt less control over the campaign and, like, what issues are going to matter because it’s all coming — you know — from D.C. I don’t control message or what we’re doing.” Link to article: politico.com/newsletters/pla…

See now why would they want people googling who Angela Paxton is
#TXPol: "I'm Texas Senator Angela Paxton. People have asked my thoughts about this election and turns out, I have some ... I'm voting for the Republican ticket on November 3rd." Texas PAC is up with a new ad featuring Angela Paxton, Ken Paxton's estranged wife.
