A piece from me welcoming the mood of disability-trans solidarity, but expressing some cautions too
The right has its own stories about the overlap, sees it as a chance to make life worse for everyone
How you understand the relationship matters, I argue

"My interrogator tried to belittle the political and humanitarian value of our mission. “But do you know how many children Hamas has killed?” he yelled at me when I explained that the Handala wanted to deliver aid and stuffed animals to Palestinian children."

06.10.2025 16:49 — 👍 50 🔁 2 💬 2 📌 1But yeah this is why people find the idea of a white woman having a larger sexual appetite than a white man as particularly risible because white women are imagined at the other end of this spectrum. There was good TikTok on Taylor Swift as a white girl that was about this.
06.10.2025 16:47 — 👍 50 🔁 1 💬 4 📌 1This is well-trod territory in Black feminist literature so when so many people continue to perpetuate these tropes it really does make me question if people read all those books they swore they just couldn’t get away from during the “dreaded Woke Times”

06.10.2025 16:39 — 👍 69 🔁 4 💬 3 📌 0This manifests itself in many ways, one of which is the association of Blackness with masculinity, making it so that people believe Black people in general must have an endless sexual appetite, with stereotypes about Black women being particularly pernicious in this regard...

South Africa is demanding the immediate release of Nelson Mandela's Grandson, Mandla Mandela.
