#QT dair-community.social/@timnitG… this is why I spent most of 2019 traveling the world talking about the harm inflicted in marginalized spaces when white folx refuse to acknowledge their complicity and allegiance to white supremacy and anti-Blackness

When white LGBTQ+ folx aren’t able to step outside whiteness, Black and brown folx must ignore their shared marginalized experiences in order to protect themselves from your racism and you become the “enemy”

Newsflash. 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ White LGBTQ+ people can be racist. Is that something we need to say? So many responses here being like, as a trans person, I got such better community on Mastodon from the beginning. Change that to "As a WHITE trans person.

FWIW your posts in recent days have raised a few peoples' consciousness, including mine. Among other things, Masto has an “invisible attacker” problem, i.e. nobody else can see the abuse that gets pushed into your face. While the people saying “it’s easy to fix, just fix it” are wrong - it’s a hard problem - that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be a priority. Thanks for raising your voice.
