Our role as sociologists is not to strengthen platform for White supremacy & cishet patriarchy but to dismantle these narratives #sociology
So @contextsmag using Hypatia controversy to re-peddle & defend uncritical racist/ transphobic piece on Dolezal https://contexts.org/articles/we-own-it/ …

2 male sociologists proudly reaffirm damaging article on Dolezal as "very interesting, thoughtful" at this time is marginalising.

#POC sociologists experts on race & transgender studies have spoken on probl w/ article but your eds paint themselves as heroes.#sociology -
To characterise
#sociology critique by#POC &#LGBTQIA as "Twitter, so hot and bothered" & "Twitter rant" is elitist nonsense.#marginsci -
For many
#POC especially BW & other#WOC &#LGBTQIA POC who spoke out, Twitter is where we build & strengthen our communities.#sociology -
"Twitter rants" is defense of privileged academics who spruik their work online but don't want to engage marginalised scholars.
#sociology -
#Sociology is built on colonialist frameworks, esp on race & transgender#POC experiences. That's what you're feeding.#decolonisesociology

OP is WOC. Unlike Oluo's nuanced piece she didn't include critical thinking on Dolezal. Has supported her in past http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ann-morning/its-impossible-to-lie-about-your-race_b_7708598.html …

1/2 Problem here is, while
#sociology shows race is a social construction, we also demonstrate race hierarchies are real in consequences -
2/2 So when
#sociology publication gives voice to distortion of social constructionist theory on race & gender, feeds public misinformation.
