Being black, you know that someone doesn’t have to come out and say explicitly racist shit for something to be racist. The same goes for transphobia or misogynoir. Don’t be playing games.

I don’t see it as a contradiction so much as the fact that most things in life are not simple. Especially as a black person in America. We LIVE with contradictions. Psychologists call it cognitive dissonance.

It’s because they confuse italics with italians and they hate olive-skin too.

Can you imagine, considering that trans women are killed at astonishing rates, ostracized at almost every turn for being who they are, and are indeed PEOPLE wanting the same love and affection that everyone wants... can you imagine how little incentive there is for a trans person to “trick” anyone??

Why are you so routinely the worst person on The Root? Like, how do you even do it? How do you manage to stay garbage?

Cis or whatever Im saying why was her first reaction to film him?

So dude skips out on paying for what was agreed upon. He uses her, violates her by not paying. And you want to focus on her filming him in the act of theft on her person and deem that to be the act that we should call out? It wasn’t spite. He stole from her. Some would go further with naming what he did. Duh! If one…

But this story isn’t about whatever IG account your GF found. It’s about someone not paying a sex worker what she is owed, and Bobby Valentino’s transphobic bullshit and transphobia in general.

there used to be an IG page dedicated to it.

Yeah, that’s not a thing.

trans women are out here outing men or exposing them because apparently that’s a thing.

I was elaborating on why he wasn’t shit...

Instead, many of those cis heterosexual men specifically seek out trans women and only run away out of fear of being “outed” for finding trans women attractive.

The Black community is not a monolith, just like no one would think to announce that the white community is. Some Black people are homophobic and transphobic, some are not. Just like all other kinds of people—you know, like individuals.

The word is ‘fremdscham’, and they make me feel it, I fucking cringe to death.

Megan, thank you for standing up against big a cappella. The snark gave me life on this bleary hangover morning, even if I feel you might have pulled some punches.

What is. this White. Nonsense.

Well, I’m sorry for what happen
