…we’re letting far too many people and entities off the hook when we desperately need them to examine their behavior, beliefs, and actions that contribute to the oppression that those of us who are minoritized have always experienced and led to this fascist regime we’re sliding toward now.

Chrissplains Nonbinary Advocacy to Cisgender People, Topic: We’re here. We’re natural. We’re nonbinary. And we’re not going anywhere.
Trying to remove us from the public eye isn’t going to change the fact that we exist. And it’ll be nearly impossible to scrub us from history this time around… But it will make it so that not all of us survive until this onslaught of attacks end.

Why must the white cis nonprofit workers angry react to all my posts? Ep: Decipher between acting, allying, and accomplicing
White women, we need to talk. Specifically about Chappell Roan. Before y’all get big mad, I have to say that I am a fan. (I have to be. I’m a queer. It’s required.) I’m also a fan of how outspoken she’s been for Palestinian liberation.

Most recently, it’s shown up as retribution for speaking out in support of Palestine.
Ways whiteness shows up in CCF to the detriment of everyone (including white folks), part 2: “Stop using that word.”
White cisgender women especially, but white folks of all persuasions, have flooded the CCF channels where BIPOC folks are having fruitful and honest conversations, derailing them and re-enacting the worst bits of whiteness, at times making the spaces feel like a glorified replica of every white-led organization I’ve had the displeasure of navigating.
