I have little doubt that this is how she considers herself. There is a certain type of Baby Boomer activist rampant in Berkeley, Oakland (and, I think, parts of Massachusetts) who sees herself as a righteous SJW while refusing to look at her own complicity in issues of race. Ever.

Them: “Show me an example of structural racism.”

Nah, there are honestly black dudes who feel like The Root is orchestrating an coordinated attack on the straight black male by, like, calling them out on their toxic bullshit, their disdain for black women, their ignorance towards LGBTQ people, and generally speaking on their dumbass hotepery for the miserable pile…

Oh, I am fine with him getting paid, in the end he needs to have his own money and societies are built on that.

What are you writing to me?

The book promises original reporting and “stunning revelations” about how far private investigators, former spies and lawyers go to silence victims.

Yeah, I removed a comment above that based solely on the information provided in the article - super misleading. I still have a lot of sympathy for Green, but now it’s only based on her efforts to reform and change her life post-sentencing, not on the circumstances that led to her arrest and conviction.

I’m not the one confusing “safety” and “comfort.” Trans women are not a threat to women’s safety. You might find a trans woman’s body triggering, but that is not her problem, it is yours. And excluding them from women’s prisons and safe spaces because they make you uncomfortable or trigger you is to punish them and…

Well, I can’t speak for others, but when I see people using hypotheticals to argue against trans people’s safety and inclusion, that reads like pretty shitty behavior to me. And when I see someone using TRRF-style speech (such as calling trans women “trans-identified men”), I’m gonna call it out as such. If people…

I’m curious: what about a women who’s been assaulted (or raped, depending on how you define that term) by another woman and is triggered by that? Should we keep other women out of the bathroom with her? How far does that line of logic go, when it’s not applied to trans women?

Your hatred for trans folks is clear, and your insistence on hurting all of them based on one unverifiable bad interaction is pathetic.

This person is using “trans identified men” in place of trans women, which is classic TERF rhetoric. You won’t make any progress with them.

What a surprise, women having to move out of their own spaces that were granted FOR A REASON, because people with penises demand it is so

They could not have stopped him in any safe manner. Had they followed him he would have gone faster, cut between houses, cut across curbs and uneven lawns. They should have followed the current procedure of not giving chase to a fleeing suspect operating a motor vehicle and just hoped he didn’t hit anyone. Many…

I don’t know if you are a troll or not but I hope you find happiness someday.

You’re not about to do that... If a poor white person is even slightly educated and can fake it with designer clothes, a great haircut.. NOBODY WILL BLINK...

Nah, people are just adding “man” to try to say that I said he isn’t a real Black man because he dates interracially. They need my comment to be understood within the context of their own narrative, rather than my own.

Ah, those insecure Black women again. When will we learn.

What’s in the booooooooox?

Especially women-people.
