Be white, probably.

I do! I really like it! *runs and hides*

HEY

I have with an Ex and FYI it feels exactly like these:

it called hooded dick

As a mediocre, middle-aged, white male who cannot sing or dance but was very funny in high school plays, I am glad that society FINALLY allows me a chance at Broadway stardom!

Exactly. If this was a Dream Girls casting call we would have heard nary a complaint.

The results won’t matter if you truly are seeking an all-minority cast, just don’t say it explicitly in the open casting call. Don’t say “[ANYTHING] ONLY”

If Hamilton wasn’t wildly successful, no one would care. Now that it’s the hottest Broadway show on the planet white people are all “Wait praise, prestige and high paychecks? That’s my job!”

Except many accounts of the Stonewall riots suggest they were started in part by trans women of color and drag queens who very explicitly made common cause with trans folk more so than other gay men (see Marsha P. Johnson and STAR for reference). One of the main organizers of the Christipher Street Liberation Day…

Right, because there weren’t any of us at the Stonewall Riots (there were), and transpeople only come in the heterosexual variety (herp derp). Whether it comes out of ignorance or prejudice, is there much of a difference? Thanks for putting that out there.

But trans people have always been around those spaces. Specifically, for purposes of this story, they’ve been around Stonewall. Trans women disproportionately led the Stonewall Riots. People often forget this.

Trans people were there at the beginning at Stonewall, and had/continue to have one of the highest HIV+ rates at the height of the AIDS crisis/today.

This was not about you or your grey status.

That’s fair, I suppose, although trans people have been in the gay community for a lot longer than when they had their own letter. I’m always somewhat surprised by folks who seem to think that trans folks just appeared suddenly in the middle 80s. Not that I’m saying that’s how your mother views it, just as a general…

There’s a pretty long history of transphobia amongst gay cis people, much in the same way there’s a long history of transphobia amongst certain feminists... that’s really all there is to it. We’re basically the eternal punching bag for other marginalized people to vent their own demons.

You’re totally not an asshole, hijacking a thread about a sexual assault so that you can brag about the color of your internet comment.

Idk how Kara would define it, but as a biracial woman, I most often use it (when describing myself) to mean someone with parents of two different races. That could be black and white, East Asian and white, black and Asian, etc. I think what Kara means is that it is perfectly possible to identify simultaneously as…

Personally I’d define it as one parent of one race and one of another race leaving out grandparents and great grandparents because hell many of us would be considered biracial given the history of slavery as she pointend out. And black because she identifies and is perceived as such.

Let’s report the REAL news, shall we? The one story you won’t print?
