@FinalGirl@blackqueer.life My opinion (as a black trans woman) is that no trans person, regardless of race, deserves to be misgendered, ever. Racism unfortunately makes Black trans women more likely than white trans women to get misgendered and treated as a male threat, and it makes me dysphoric.

@LunaDragofelis@void.lgbt I, of course, never implied that anyone deserves to be misgendered. My statement was that, as a class, Black folk, including cis Black folk, experience more oppression than white trans people ever will. But that the experience of many white trans people seems to be one of seeing those experiences as analogous–or, often, winning "the oppression olympics"–more than actually fighting the forces that imprison all of us. Since those forces still have a protective effect on them.
