"When cis people try to understand what it is to be trans, I think they often try to imagine what it would feel like to want to be 'the opposite sex'. What they should be trying to imagine, instead, is how it would feel to wake up and find that the whole world insists they *are* the opposite sex. That would be a much closer scenario to how it feels to be trans." Sage

"And without the slightest bit of irony are WP discussing where and how Blk and POC should be represented on the flag. 'here's ur corner, now shut up'"
"That flag has started a super demeaning discussion now
'oh it would be from pv'
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"
"So. Blk folks can't have added visibility within a flag unless it's as an ammendment
If that's how wp are reading the chevron on the pride flag then that makes me uncomfortable"
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
#BlackMastodon #TransAwarenessWeek
White queer were coming up with mock flag designs that would allow for Blk ppl to be represented bc "Just because youre a minority grou doesn't give yu the right to shit on other ones"
Then this person blocked me, realized they didn't even understand the flag, and apologized to their followers and never sent one my way
and Yes I am starting #BlackMastodonHistory bc I and others who have been here for years have dealt w some shit
