THREAD: Racism & misogynoir are rampant in the transgender community, & a recurring reflection of this is their incessant denigration of Black women.

Genderists routinely assert that transgender males are women the same way Black women are women. This is racist & illogical. 1/11
RACIST. There is a long, painful history of calling Black women "manly"/"masculine," and comparing us to males. The contention that we are not "really women" was used to justify enslaving/raping/ brutalizing/killing us. It is *still* used to dehumanize us. 2/11
In 2011, Satoshi Kanazawa wrote in Psychology Today, a respected publication: "The race difference in the level of testosterone can therefore potentially explain why black women are less physically attractive than women of other races….” Full quote attchd. The misogynoir 3/11
is evident in recent claims by trans males abt Black women's aesthetics, again comparing us to men/implying we are "masculine." And while "masculinity"/"femininity" are sexist nonsense, they are weaponized against Black women.

Think abt why genderists repeatedly invoke the 4/11
pain/suffering/trauma of Black women to make their case. If the point was truly to simply note there are many types of women, they could just as easily list white women.

Given that nearly all those making this "argument" are white ppl, why aren't white women the first women 5/11
that come mind? A white woman gave birth to them. A white woman raised them. In fact, is it not the claim of white transgender males that *they themselves* are white women? And if they don't want to list white women, why not use the 1000s of other adjectives available to 6/11
describe women? Tall/short/left-handed, etc to make the point?

Fact is, their racism & disregard for our humanity/dignity compel them to bring Black women into the conversation. 

Two things are afoot here. 1st, they invoke Black women’s suffering to leverage/exploit the 7/11
shame & guilt associated with this country's legacy of racism/slavery/ depraved treatment of Black people. The objective is to silence whites who challenge genderists' biologically/demonstrably false claims, & to shame Blacks into affirming this racist appropriation. 8/11
2nd, it reveals that on some level, these racists apparently believe that Black women are indeed some kind of asterisked, non-woman women, per the attached.

2. ILLOGICAL. Comparing transgender males to Black women is also illogical. These are males. A biological fact. 9/11
Otherwise they wldn't be trans. Women are adult human *females.* Thus, it is illogical to assert that *males* are comparable to Black women.

If these males want to advance the demonstrably/biologically false claim they are female; that liking heels/make-up/dresses are what 10/11
comprise a woman; that an infintesimal % of males can unilaterally redefine "woman" leaving half the human populace with no ontological category that excludes males; then let them make that case on its own merit.

Meanwhile, they need to keep Black women out of their mouth. 11/11
