Sidenote: if you white and trans, ESPECIALLY transfemme, you should be sharing the quoted thread AND internalizing it.
You cannot pass this off to others. No, you probably ain’t doing enough. Most of y’all ain’t even White Critical yet.
You need to do fucking better.

Stop trading stagnation for comfort at the end of the world.
Stop being complicit because it’s easy, because you tired. We don’t get to escape.
You have to do better or you too will be alone at the end.

I am not always PERFECT, but I ALWAYS strive to be better, and listen to feedback without being defensive.
( that having been said, acknowledge I have white privilege because privilege is about how others see you, not how you see yourself, and *I* look like I should have the map of Ireland tattooed on my forehead!)
My dad had Dark Skin, a sparse beard, etc, but that just meant he was clocked as "mexican" by anybody who didn't know better.
And when he met and married my scottish mother in Gourock/dunoon ... he was called "a paki" ... because racism in the UK is also real. :)
Mestizos are "First nations" for all intents and purposes, even if their tribal affiliations are more mixed than First Nation's here
Also, tbh I’d say it’s situational. It may be a useful framework to look at non-white folks investing themselves in supporting whiteness for personal gain, for example.
