it’s frustrating having to remind people you share a community with that despite being queer and encountering homophobia, that they will always reap the benefits of white supremacy; whether it be anti-blackness, transphobia, misogyny/misogynoir, etc.
because of their whiteness, they will always benefit from the subjugation of a marginalized group. a lot of them fail to realize this and act bewildered when said communities call them in when they intentionally or not debase a community they claim to be in solidarity with.
BIPOC queer, gender-nonconforming, and trans people are the bedrock of the queer community. white queer people would not have the privileges they do if it wasn’t for the sacrifices we’ve made and the suffering we still have to endure.
i’ve probably said this in 100 different variations & quite frankly i’m sick of repeating myself. idk… white queer ppl need to start doing some heavy lifting these next 4 years instead of debasing their BIPOC counterparts, or everyone that isn’t cishet will experience a genocide—not just trans ppl
