@so_treu See this is what I meant when I asked the other day about TikTok discourse making its way here
Because I don't see anyone talking about it but I have to always admit I don't dig and im not on here enough to know 1000%
@CaribenxMarciaX meanwhile I barely use tiktok at all so I have NO idea what discourses be going on over there 😅
But here at this point it's basically a fucking graveyard when it comes to these topics
@so_treu bc we are not the ones that should be having that convo
and theyre not going to :points with lips:
"And people can benefit from systems they
did not create.
They can also be harmed by one system while benefiting from another. A white transgender woman can experience vicious transphobia and still possess racial privilege.
A Black cisgender woman can experience racism and misogyny while still having a different relationship to cisgender privilege than I do.
A Black transgender woman can experience anti-Blackness, misogyny, and transphobia at the same time.
None of those truths cancel the others.
Power is not arithmetic.
You do not add one marginalized identity and subtract one privileged identity until everybody arrives at zero. That is not how systems work."
