It's very telling that this anonymous person's name is Centrist. In the middle on issues and not coming down firmly with any opinion outside "don't rock the boat." Which, in this case, equates to "accept oppression." Ciora, as a black transwoman, is not charged with educating you or any other underinformed individual on how race is clearly still a signifier of experiencing oppression, bigotry, and related struggles, and even more so when one is a trans or queer person of color. You can very easily find the evidence of this yourself. We are not post-race. We are not post-sexual orientation. We are not post-gender. You can try to wrap your silencing tactics in the attractive wrapping paper of "coming together" and accepting subpar improvements as progress, but for people on the ground that isn't enough. For individuals struggling in these communities, it's not enough. We're here fighting for ourselves because it's clear people like you haven't taken the time to learn the landscape and what needs to be done to truly move forward. I suggest you do that before attacking a transwoman of color doing real work to support her trans brothers and sisters and nonbinary family.
