As a white trans woman I completely agree. Not that being a trans poc is about tragedy but I know my survival, care, and privilege is much higher because im white

Yeah always feels super shitty watching especially online how separate the communities are

Oh easily. I’m a white transfem and there’s sooooo much more privilege in this racist ass world if you have the complexion of mayonnaise Take all the systemic discrimination trans people face and stack systemic racism on top of it, and you essentially have a double whammy of shit

Anybody who can’t acknowledge this is a complete idiot. Perceptions of gender are based in beauty standards which are often extremely racist.

I took on the stereotypes towards black men the moment I became one. I started noticing the way people move across the street when I walk by them, the way people fetishize black men (especially white women), definitely took me a while to adjust. and I feel weird even saying “adjust” bc how does one even adjust tho that shit 😭

It sucks cus I always get shit on for claiming I’ll always deep down be a black woman no matter how much I transition or pass. Because it’s more than a gender. It’s a culture, a community, a way of life. It changes every about you. How you see the world, you the world sees and experiences you. And even if you look different, people will always know if you’ve walked that way of life before

I’ve had people who’ve braided my hair since I was child. I feel comfortable in black women spaces and they feel comfortable with me even now as a man. It’s not something I can change because the back community feels gender and sexuality just differently

Literally! I often think about how hard it is for transmasc ppl, regardless of race because white men are seen as creepy and predators while black men are seen as thugs. So being a transmasc is hard regardless of race. As a transfem I just feel like we have to deal with misogyny and not being taken seriously.
