Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists.

So...black men being the white people of black people doesn’t mean that Damon wants to come over to my house and help me pick out a Halloween costume for my cat? Damn, I had bought fresh kale chips, unflavored non-fat ice milk and everything :(

I couldn’t find any lies in here either.

You know which group is playing the game of life on hardcore settings? Black transwomen. Those women get the knocks from every direction. I wish I had half their strength of character and sense of self. I do wish that indeed. I’m glad that I don’t need it though, that I have enough privilege to duck out on most of the

Omg this article is fucking perfect.

You could make the same argument about men of all races we really all are a problem.

I couldn’t find a lie anywhere in this piece.
