as a white trans woman who has been very online, of course i care about what other online white trans women think or say and what the general cultural currents are like in that space. those are my people, to some extent

but it’s very important not to mistake that personal sentiment for the idea that this microdemographic of white womanhood is remotely important, relevant, or even coherent on any kind of political scale. or that a culture which is steeped in white protestant ideas of gender, western european orientalism and racism, and feelings of exclusivity and sometimes outright bigotry inherited from forums like somethingawful or 4chan is actually, on the whole, a good or progressive force

it’s okay to recognize your personal attachments to these communities and still criticize them. it’s more than okay, even healthy, to recognize your personal attachments to these communities while deciding you don’t give a fuck what they think or whether their current Discourse has takes which are right or wrong. it’s absolutely crucial that you do form other commitments, to other cultures and communities which ARE politically meaningful and DO matter, if you want to get anything done
