Daily reminder that white lgbt people will always choose whiteness over their labels
SO i know i said I’d drop the plaidos situation–but I just looked and saw that plaidos is still saying that i am intentionally misgendering her and claiming that I still am–which i never did. she is also saying i am a terf because I’m still trying to hold her accountable for her racism.
When I first called plaidos out for her racism–i didn’t know her pronouns, so I used they/them pronouns for her. Not just her, but for her friends simply because when I get into an argument with someone and I do not know their pronouns upon meeting them I use they/them. Usually, when I am arguing with a racist–and we are going back in forth on a post, i use they/them if their pronouns aren’t sated in the post.
when i found out that her pronouns were she/her–I used she/her pronouns for her and apologized. And i admitted that even if I didn’t initially know her pronouns then I still should’ve checked her pronouns to make sure I was being respectful. I was in the wrong. Because at the time, was getting tons of anons and addressing not just plaidos but her racist friends who were harassing me–I got very confused and would sometimes use they/them when i was addressing her and multiple people and realize I was wrong. I apologized and fixed that.
Since then, and even now– I only refer to her using she/her pronouns. However, she is still spreading rumors and making it seem like i am intentionally misgendering her EVEN NOW WHEN I AM NOT.
Like i apologized for misgendering her and even apologize now and admit it was wrong. But it’s very telling that I am apologizing for that and she won’t even apologize for her racism.
I want to point out again, that this all started simply because I asked her not to be racist. And i found out that she’s accusing me again, of misgendering her NOW when I am not, and also saying that I am sending a hate campaign against her.
LET ME AGAIN STATE–that the only reason I called out plaidos in the first place was because she was being antiblack and racist–plaidos notoriously speaks over black and brown people, and she equates us talking about racism in harry potter to us hating trans women–if you don’t believe me–please look at my pinned. or just look at this link.
And this whole thing is problematic in itself
“idc waht your reasoning is” first of all–plaidos is literally a racist and antiblack–this is not be randomly sending a harassment campaign against a trans women, esp when there are other trans woc who are mad at her? This is quite LITERALLY me trying to hold her accountable for her racism.
And for her to call a black person “woke” or mock a black person for being “woke” unironically is gross. A white person using woke in a way to mock a black person IS racist, no matter how you try and twist it.
Also-the “sleeping in the same bed with terfs” what? Just because I told you not to be racist, you say im sleeping with tefs.
ANYWAY, this is just another example of how white lgbt+ people and white women will weaponize their identities to literally harass, smear and lie about people of color, especially black women. Let it be known that I agree with everything plaidos said about transmisogyny and speaking up against it, and even calling out transmisgoyny in TME people. I only asked her NOT to speak on racism or bring up racism in these discussions or downplay it, given she can never explain it–and she, a white woman decided to say I hated trans women and was a terf because of it. This is why queer poc literally can NEVER discuss racism in white lgbt+ communities or hold white lgbt+ people accountable because this shit happens.
so if you can please reblog this to spread the word.
yo being black and depressed is hard as fuck. being black with anxiety is hard as fuck. being black with a chronic illness or disability is hard a fuck. everybody expects you to be ‘strong’ at all times and no one sees black people as complex or nuanced enough to be capable of suffering. no one ever thinks we could possibly need help. and if you’re a black woman, the moment you stop thinking about others and try to tend to yourself you’re a selfish lazy ungrateful bitch.
support black people, esp women, who need help. don’t just call us strong or tell us we’ll get through it, help us. protect us. uplift us. allow us to be beings capable of suffering. give us the same space you’d give white women to express our pain and be there for us like you would for anyone else.

Howdy y’all
So just a clarification
there have been some misconceptions about bisexuality and what it is so I wanna clear them up! This isn’t about any other sexuality, just bisexuality.
Bisexuality is the attraction to all genders. Some bi people have a preference, some don’t. For some, gender preference is a part of it, for others, personality and who the person is is a part of it. Bisexual people are attracted to ALL genders. Bisexuality is an all inclusive gender attraction.
It’s not two or more (because two or more implies that you can be attracted to a certain amount while being exclusionary to others and that isn’t good. A preference is different from exclusion.)—it’s not gender over personality—it’s not some genders and not others—it’s not strictly preference.
If you are a bisexual person who has a preference of who you are attracted to—then cool, you are bisexual (I.e, I am bi myself, a bi nonbinary wlw, but I lean more toward women aligned people, but that doesn’t mean I’m not attracted to other genders). If you are a bisexual person who doesn’t quite know who you like but you know you are attracted to every gender under the sun, cool—you are BI. If you are a bisexual person who is like ‘fuck it’, idgaf about gender I just care about who you are, as long as your personality vibes with me I like you—gender isn’t a factor’ then you are valid and you are bi.
Bisexuality isn’t exclusionary.
(If your bisexuality excludes certain genders then that’s problematic. However, so many bi people have been screaming to the heavens for the last decade to let y’all know that , overall, exclusionary people aren’t an issue in our community—at least no the point that a lot of people make them seem. Of course there are issues of transphobes in our community…just like every community. Like even gay and lesbian sexulities dealt with early ideas and beliefs that the sexualities only catered toward people on the cis binary. Lesbian and gay people have been fighting, just like bisexual people to let y’all know that this mindset is harmful and that just bcs a few transphobic, uneducated people thought that was okay—that doesn’t reflect the community. The sexualities have adapted, called out shit, etc., esp non binary and trans people within those sexualities. Bisexuality is literally the same way but y’all don’t let bisexuals breathe…anyway)
Bisexuality is having a preference. Bisexuality isn’t having one. Bisexuality isn’t sure if you have one. Bisexuality is not giving two hells about gender. Bisexuality is an attraction to all genders, no matter how big or how small—
thanks for coming to my ted talk.
