It's Trans Awareness Week, and I think back to the Black Trans Flag, the dominance of whiteness in this queer space, and the lack of care white ppl have for their Black queer siblings
I've been here for years, let's go down memory lane

I seem to understand that non binary for white ppl has to be the bar. And that extra visibility for Blk folks means there's non for non binary aka white ppl. It's not a zero sun game and also like is said in the post... I didn't design it"

Imagine hating when Blk non binary and Trans folks advocate for themselves and get demeaned for it.
BLK Trans women are no longer w us a rate we can't understand. No one on here talks about it.
It's too much and I don't have the bandwidth and now this.
Ppl are treating that flag post w such VIM"
