This is a PSA for those in and out of our community: Pride exists because of a woman. Pride exists because of a black woman of color. Pride exists because black trans woman of color. Pride exists because of a black trans woman of color who was a sex worker.pic.twitter.com/ThmHwi5cyx
Pride exists because of a black trans woman of color who was a sex worker that threw a brick at a cop. Pride exists because of a black trans woman of color, who was a sex worker, that threw a brick at a cop and started a riot against the state.
Don't lose this month in rainbow capitalism and unabashed racism because the privilege of being white while queer. Queerness doesn't cure white guilt and racism. If you aren't supporting the queer people of color, trans woman, and queer sex workers, you aren't celebrating
pride, you are celebrating rainbow capitalism and police brutality. Marsha P. Johnson gave us this season, make her proud.
Marsha P Johnson wasn’t a binary trans woman. She identified as femme and wore women’s clothes but never considered herself binary MtF. Your post is enby erasure. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsha_P._Johnson …
She did not identify as enby either. All that article shows is that Marsha "identified herself as gay, as a transvestite, and as a queen (referring to drag queen)."
But those identities certainly don’t add up to being binary MtF.
Doesn't mean enby either.
But why are you claiming her as MtF when she never identified that way or with terms we’d use today? She also never medically transitioned. MtFs are overrepresented in the trans community as it is. Why binarize an early activist to make that over representation even bigger?
Whether she medically transitioned or not is irrelevant. Why is it a problem that trans women are highly represented? I didn't see enough growing up. The simple fact of having a black trans woman as an early activist shows how much representation matters. Why make her enby if
It's not sure that she was enby either?
If they didn't identify as a woman, or as nb, and they were a drag Queen/transvestite, wouldn't they be a guy
just curious, why are you using "black" and "person of color" in the same sentence as if they meant different things? I get not every poc is black ofc, but isnt black kind of including the term "person of color" itself? (feels confusing, since english is not my first language)
There are times where it is ok to use the generic "people of color" and there are times where "black" is emphasized
Yeah I get that, but what is the point of using both at the same time?
Highlighting her blackness.
That’s idiotic. Just say black
I’m pretty sure she just used it to emphasize, hence all the repetition
why did this show up on my timeline? 
Maybe because someone you follow shared it.
And that someone is a disappointment.
Well good for them....Idk why you're being negative.
