Tatimoons –  Sun Goddess, ruler of Leo

“The police don’t target black people,” says the white person.

“LGBTQ+ people have plenty of protection,” says the straight, cisgender person.

“Women don’t feel harassed at work,” says the man. 

“Poor people don’t need more government help,” says the rich person. 

“Immigrants feel welcome here,” says the natural-born citizen. 

Please stop invalidating the concerns of people who have problems that you’re not experiencing. Instead, listen to them, and learn what you can do to help. 

"Why don't you try being a masculine woman?"

Wish I'd've thought about that! That would have saved me thousands of dollars... who knew women could be masculine and men could be feminine (heavy sarcasm)

I cannot say this enough times:

Reblog black women's posts without adding your own opinions. Do not steer black women's struggles toward the direction of "how can I make this about me". Let black women talk about things. Let black women speak. Their voices need to be heard. It is the responsibility of every woman of color to uplift black women and amplify their voices.

It's so surreal to me how people go from the (very reasonable) stance of "the USA fucking sucks and dominates discussions about everything, even stuff happening in other countries" and just dive straight into "USAmericans have never suffered anything, no American knows what it feels like to be affected by climate change or colonialism" as if that's not just. Shitting directly on marginalized people, particularly Americans of color in poverty.

Black women, Jewish women, Muslim women, and women of color have always had to earn what is freely given to others. It's always been this way.

Even those of our own ethnic groups have always expected us to go out of our ways to prove that we are worthy of even the most basic respect as human beings.

Because we are women, and because we are ethnic minorities, we are expected, required even, to always explain ourselves, justify ourselves, and apologize for being ourselves.

I recently unfriended and blocked an acquaintance on Facebook. He pretty much said to my face that "this is real and big stuff we're talking about here, not gender studies". The fact that he even brought "gender studies" into a completely unrelated topic of discussion is him telling me that I can't possibly possess the level of intelligence and education required to comprehend and debate the "real and big things" (and clearly because people's rights to exist in this world don't even make the cut of important things worthy of being taken seriously), basically using my staunch stance on trans rights as a means to dismiss me for being the poor little Asian immigrant who just doesn't know better.

He also happens to be biracial and half Asian. Not even mentioning the part where he is transphobic, which is a very white supremacist thing to do, he has pulled the exactly same spiel that is all too familiar to me because white men have done the exact same to me countless times. Never mind that he's got nothing to show for his arrogance and nothing to back up his attitude, but because I'm a woman and a woman of color, my opinions mean nothing and my words hold no weight. Not for a moment do I believe because he will claim a slice of the pea oh sea pie when it suits him, it means he is not exactly like all the misogynistic white men out there.

(Radfems do not even look in the direction of this post. You have never treated us an ounce better and you all only care about middle class and above white gentile women anyway.)
