reminder: when black transfems do activism, calling them "hostile" & "violent" are, for all intents & purposes anti-black slurs. not even dog whistles. just straight up slurs. that pattern is old and we know you just wanna call us Sapphire caricatures or an ABW.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angry_b... it wasn't a coincidence in the 60s when the fbi under hoover, southern politicians & the mainstream press called civil rights organisers "hostile" "violent", "agitators", "communists" wasn't a coincidence in the 70s when the same institutions kept saying that-

of the LA riots did it again. in the 2000s the language got more coded "crime", "gangs", but media & law enforcement still reached for the same tools to eradicate us, especially during moments like katrina coverage in the 2010s, after ferguson & baltimore, conservatives & a liberals & democrats-

drew lines between "peaceful protest" & "riots" & used "destruction" as a label to distance themselves from the more disruptive parts of the movement (black people). & in 2020, the same pattern again: liberals, republikkkrats & mainstream media condemned "rioting" & "looting", affirmed the right-

to protest "peacefully". reached for the exact same words that have been used against black people organising for decades to use it against BLM riots & George Floyd memorials. once again, not a coincidence. so FORGIVE ME if im intolerant when the same exact labels get thrown at me or my people-
