Won’t anyone think of the whites???!??!?!
It’s not ironic. It’s not cute. It is a threat.
How many people are murdered because they are cis? How many people are denied employment, housing, health services, turned away from shelters, refused aid, and are subjected to constant ridicule…
Stop race baiting and making shit up. It doesn’t make your fucked up...

Radfem political lesbians:
“Encourage lesbianism.”
“I’m a lesbian for political reasons.”

As I said to my biffle Nij, who has also been bashing back at the rad cis scum that have been attacking trans* folks, I wanted to thank specifically many of the cis Black women and other cis Women of Color who have also came to the defense.
