Support Thread for Marginalized Groups in the US

[Lucem Ferre]

Right but I'm the troll.

I never used that word to describe you.

[Marie Monday]

...okay

[Lucem Ferre]

...okay

Hell yeah.

[Weekender]

Why even use this thread as an opportunity to point out white privilege? Yes, you have to be in a position of privilege, likely related to race, to be able to leave the US for a better situation. However, it strikes me as confrontational for the sake of confrontation to bring that up in a trans support thread.

I mean the trans folks in my circles (largely not white) are talking about organizing and fighting back. The observation seemed relevant that it's always white people opting to remove themselves from the situation leaving the dirty work for others.

I am not judging the individual. What does support look like to you all because apparently I'm doing it all wrong here. And white privilege is a part of every conversation on oppression.

You've gotta spoon feed the baby

Bro if you have something to say do so.

@degrassi.knoll I'm trying to PM you but it's saying my message is blocked. Not sure if the issue is on my end or yours.

This isn't the trans support thread.  It's the Lexi support thread.  Get it right. 

But honestly if you want to have this pity party out in the open you can expect to get ridiculed for it.  I feel like if you guys want a safe space so badly the place for one is definitely not out in public where I can read and respond to it.

[Weekender]

Watch out, this guy is an equal opportunity pedant.

I don't know who "you guys" are, but I'll have it on public record that you sound like a doofus.

[Jwb]

Your only response is to say you don't know who "you guys" are, but I'm the pedant? "You guys" would be people like yourself and Trollheart who insist that this "isn't the right thread" for anything other than relentless white knighting of the site's most prominent  professional trans victim.  Why are you playing stupid?

[Guybrush]

Please behave.

I didn't know who you were referring to honestly.

[degrassiknoll]
