Reminder that gender stereotypes are not universal and that you shouldn't project eurocentric stereotypes onto people of color for what is or isn't "progressive" for them to do.

An example from my own culture is a different expectation for hair. As a Native American, long hair would be considered masculine for me. Many Native men hold a lot of pride in having long hair, it's a part of our culture. Having short hair as a Native American would be gender non-conforming, the eurocentric standard of short hair = masculine doesn't translate to my culture.

Please consider non eurocentric cultures and gender roles when talking about gender stereotypes. For many of us, the stereotypes are not the same as they are for white people.

i feel like the whole "kill all men" thing is not only obviously just generalising and demonising all men, but also transphobic towards multigender people. i'm bigender (more specifically i identify as both a man and woman) and whenever i see misandrist posts, i just think "where do i fit in your overly hateful boxes?". almost like hating people for their gender is illogical or something.

The people who say things like "kill all men" are most of the time transphobic too. So yeah..

Even when people say things like "kill all cis men". How many of them are queer? "Kill all cis straight men." How many of them are people of color? "Kill all straight cis white men." How many of them are disabled? Abuse victims? The list goes on. We can't just pinpoint one demographic as the "common enemy" it's not feasible at all.

Intersectionality as a concept is nice. But, the problem is on the internet is it’s used as a cudgel and doesn’t address the differences of the groups it claims to represent.

E ci saranno uomini che se la piglieranno con le donne perchè fanno carriera con il culo, senza farsi sfiorare minimamente che l'origine del problema è chi può abusare del suo potere che eventualmente potrebbe danneggiare ingiustamente anche loro, indipendentemente dalle donne.

this cop also did this to another protestor:

i remember when Instagram mostly banned me from my account for an entire year after posting about police brutality and its' links to white supremacy and institutionalized violence -it was during the height of the BLM movement after George Floyd was murdered. i remember calling out ex-co-workers at the time and people on social media i was mutuals with at the time for saying 'but it's not all cops, some are good,' and my response to that, and will always be: policing systems do MORE harm than good in communities. cops get little to zero training and are allowed to bear arms and have a licences to maim, injure, and kill people (most of whom, are NOT threats). and it's beyond unacceptable. the amount of funding these fucking systems get too when it can be allocated to programs that ACTUALLY do good.

defund the police.

end the occupation and free palestine!

*also, a few people have noted this, but yes, I believe it appears that the cop spat on the memorial candles too. and the fact he will never be fired and told to give up his badge for doing such a heinous thing is just despicable* -and yes all cops are bad.

Nex Benedict's death wasn't just for being transgender, it was for being native too. 2 Spirits are revered in many native cultures and it is a native-specific identity. This wasn't just a hate crime against trans & NB individuals, this was also a hate crime against Natives of Turtle Island.

You cannot separate Nex's trans identity from their native identity - this is a case of MMIWG2S (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2 Spirits).

Native children being killed at school is nothing new, so it's equally important to talk about Nex's native identity and being intersectional, this is a devastating tragedy for indigenous people, the queer community & especially those of us who are both indigenous and queer.

May Nex rest in peace 🪶

#too many people are ignoring their indigenous identity and how that plays a role in what happened #because 2 spirit is a trans AND indigenous identity - you cannot separate the two #and it is a disservice to Nex and all other 2 spirit to do so #as a queer indigenous woman my heart aches for Nex and their family #we as indigenous people have lost too many children to violence at schools #and we as queer people have lost too many to the rise of transphobia and TERFs and their attitudes #nex benedict #mmiwg2s #2 spirit #indigenous #queer #indigenous & queer #intersectionality #racism #transphobia

“The Barbie movie is like basic gender studies 101. It’s like the bare minimum for feminism”

YEAH SOME PEOPLE HAVENT TAKEN GENDER STUDIES 101 AND WOULDNT YOU AGREE WE ARE CURRENTLY AT LESS THAN THE BARE MINIMUM FOR FEMINISM?

things do not need to be perfect to be good. You cannot teach someone intersectionality if that person has not heard of bare minimum feminism. You might be on step 100 but just because you started earlier does not mean that everyone can jump to your level. They have to climb the stairs too. And the people at the top yelling down to the people at the bottom that being at the bottom is bad, they need to be at the top, IT DOES NOT ENCOURAGE THEM TO CLIMB UP.

Intersectionality doesn't mean "I'm x and y which means I'm more oppressed than you"

It means "what I am cannot be fully explained by describing me as only x OR as only y"

To use the original thesis by Kimberlé Crenshaw: a black woman is not just a woman, and she is not just black. The struggles she faces are unique due to the intersection of these identities.

In her example, a company was accused of discrimination against a black woman. The company's defense was that it hired black men, and white women. If you classified her as black, there was no discrimination because other black people worked there. If you classified her as a woman, again there was no discrimination because women worked there. But she was a black woman. And that made all the difference.

Gonna piss the white people off with this one but white people get no say in the validity or morality of people of colors cultures actually. No ifs or buts about it.

Instead of sharing your opinions as a white person on a culture you will never be a part of listen to people in the culture themselves. Listen to women of color from cultures that you consider misogynistic. Listen to lgbtq people of color in cultures you see as homophobic. Listen to the minorities actually from these cultures and lift up our voices on it instead of using your own to talk on an experience you will never have. Your voice does not matter on this subject. The voices of the people actually living in these cultures do.

Minorities in these cultures don't need your white savior shit to "teach" us about how oppressive our culture is. We need to be heard because we are the ones who know better on what parts of our culture harm us.

I know people are angry about predstrogen's ban right now- as they should be. But I really wish more people were talking about Nex Benedict's murder.

They were my age. Not even out of school. And they were murdered. Not "passed away" or "left us" murdered.

And I am so, so angry that this still happens. People will say our world is more accepting and that we don't need to fight anymore, when clearly we do! And I don't want to stop fighting until the world is a safe place for trans kids and trans elders.

So don't forget them. Their name was Nex Benedict.

Edit- important things from the notes:

Nex was indigenous. This is an intersectional hate crime.

Nex used he/him with friends and they/them with family, so I think he used he/they with a preference for he/him.

His murder has been called a suicide. It is very clearly not a suicide.

His name was Nex Benedict

images I screenshotted towards the end of this video clip:

Original Tweet/X Post states: Presenting, "your sustainable future with eV batteries" Brought to you by: Cobalt Mines of Congo. Twitter/X User Response to this video, originally: What scares me is so much "green" technology and products and such are built off human suffering. The entire world is built on this. The entire world is irrevobaly tied to mass exploitation and I desperately hope that changes in my lifetime. #CongoGenocide #CongoIsBleeding

I have attached a video below these Tweet/X images of Congolese people in Cobalt mines. Video Description: Men, in front of a large, dark brown and muddy area of the mine are digging other men out of a hole that have been inside, excavating for Cobalt. These men are not wearing any protective equipment; other than something to cover their eyes, like goggles and lights attached to them. There is a crowd of people surrounding this area and many are cheering them on; a few men are pulled out due to the velocity/force of being pushed out of the mine area they are coming out from. It looks like the mine is opening up and down like the entrance of a beast's mouth. The exit of this part of the mine opens and closes several times during this video. I took a screenshot at the end of the video to showcase how many people have gathered, and there appears to be hundreds.

*UPDATE: The original person on X, formerly known as Twitter, who posted about this story as a re-tweet, is transphobic. I was unaware, and it was recently brought to my attention. For anyone who has read my pinned post or hasn't yet, I do not align with TERFs/transphobes/transmisogynists. I cropped out the original tweet/X post and added their initial commentary on the video just for context, my apologies for the oversight.*
