A memorable thing about Emily Gorcenski was my experience of her on mastodon telling people to stop using the phrase "genocide" for anything happening in the US because it's getting in the way of real genocides, "like Ukraine."
It was so cool how she spent last week being like “it’s totally fine that I’m making a list of communists, and all the accusations that I worked for the military-industrial complex are tankie lies.”
emily gorcenski asking the real questions such as who was the real abuser: the fed who non-consensually choked people, or the people who were rude when they brought it to people's attention
this all started because bouie lead a harassment mob against an arab trans woman, but i'm certain emily is talking about a completely unrelated vibes based sort of racism she feels trans women of color are just predisposed to
like, not all trans women are white, and assuming every trans woman is white is just such a gross and weird form of racism she needs to fucking unpack before butting in to defend upper class cis men
man I've been out for seven years now and almost every year so far I've had a trans friend kill themselves. more of them who either by choice or force were sent to mental hospitals. and the climate of hopelessness created by the Times is what makes this possible. I'm really tired.
I really don't think cis people need to weigh in about jbouie right now. half the posts I've seen are unintentionally wildly transphobic, and the rest can't contend with trans pain. sit this one out, and delete what you've already posted.
i dont like to dwell on this because it depresses myself and my loved ones. but you realise theyre literally right now coming for us right. my friend lost her medication just yesterday. its a pincer with trump on one side and the nyt on the other. we are calling it how we see it. help please. please
