When a person of color, especially if they're black like me, affirms their support for causes such as queer liberation, feminism, animal rights, or socialism, I immediately feel that I can believe, with minimal doubt, that they're truly convicted and principled in what they're advocating for.

However, when a white person claims to support leftism, until my skepticism is proven wrong, I immediately assume they're a dishonest and performative libshit. I then proceed to interact with them with hefty amounts of caution. If my assumptions are proven true, I'm never shocked.

And unfortunately, there’s transmascs out there that are just awful, shitty people.

Back before I cut off dating white men, I ended up with my heart dicked around by a transmasc the exact same way a cis white man had. Third time's the no-go, white men as partners got deaded regardless of what's in their pants. There's fundamentally no difference between the cognitive of a transmasc and that of a cismasc; especially when it's under Anglo socialization.
