        Yeah.

        "As a Black man, “as a feminist,” as a “gay man,” that’s the world we live in. People just do that to manipulate their audience online all the time. Politicians have been caught doing it from burner accounts.

        Anytime someone asserts their authority as an ingroup member like you did, you should view it critically.

          And when someone else speaks to say we don’t think something I should not say otherwise?

          Are you trans or a woman? Do you think it’s okay to say women look like men and use it as a joke? Do you understand how that can be harmful.

          Saying nothing in that situation is not the answer.

            You saw how easy that was to discredit, didn’t you? Do you have a need to tell the world you’re a trans woman to have an opinion?

              You didn’t discredit it, you ignored it because you didn’t feel it was valid.

              At the end of the day you’re a cis person coming to tell off a trans person for correcting another cis person about what trans people think. That’s not the win you think it is.

                Stop with the dramatics.

                As a Black man I find it very weird how much attention you give your self and your identity.

                And as a lesbian white woman I think anyone can be anything online just to make their point.

                As a trans woman I think it’s not okay.
