The goal of white supremacist capitalist heteropatriarchy is to make people of color, poor folk, queers, and women despise themselves and each other and, in effect, destroy themselves and each other so that WSCH doesn’t have to get its hands dirty. So far, the project has been a complete and utter success.

gender equality isn’t about forcing people out of traditional gender roles, it’s about giving people the choice to live their lives how they want to, regardless of whether it meets traditional expectations or not, without being shamed for it

People love to pull that “it’s just a word” bullshit, don’t they? usually white cis hetero dudes who don’t have “just a word” to dehumanize them. it completely takes things out of context, it’s like saying “a stabwound is just a object making contact with your cells, causing a sensory reaction, so why are you complaining about it?

Transgender women, particularly those of color, are much more likely to experience violent crime than cisgender woman and other identity groups within the LGBT community. In 2010, 44 percent of LGBT murder victims were transgender women, and in 2009 transgender women were 50 percent of murder victims. But transgender people as a whole are only about 1 percent of the LGBT population.

I’m so saddened and angered and pissed about the collusion of racism and cissexism, that another trans woman of color is dead, that the world can be this awful—or rather, that people can be this awful. especially white people, especially cis people, especially anyone who benefits from any form of systemic oppression, and doesn’t actively work to recognize their privilege and dismantle it.

America needs an honest discourse with itself. It’s like the greatest country in the world by default. But, we could be the greatest country that ever existed if we were just honest about who we are, what we are, where we wanna go. Things like racism are institutionalized, it’s systematic. You might not know any bigots, you feel like, ‘well, I don’t hate black people so I’m not a racist’ but you benefit from racism, just by the merit of the color of your skin. There’s opportunities that you have, you’re privileged in ways that you may not even realized because you haven’t been deprived in certain ways. We need to talk about these things in order for them to change.
