I love when Stephanie gets into twitter fights because the people that engage with her are also the wokey types who are playing by a completely different set of rules than the rest of us. How dare she SPEAK over a BIPOC??? So now everyone is calling her racist, but have to use her stupid xe/xim/bibbitybob pronouns, because it would make them TRANSPHOBIC if they didn't!! What's worse - soft racism or deadnaming someone?? Better check the Oppression Olympics Handbook!
Also Steph wasn't wrong. Drives me nuts to see black people thinking something they experience is unique or due to them being not white. Like, I saw one saying something like 'you know you grew up black if your tupperware is actually reused cool whip tubs'. Everyone does that!! Same thing here. Sometimes, people encounter Italian names and don't know how to pronounce it. I don't even think 'soft racism' was even that bad. There's a hell of a difference between piping up on something that isn't about you and killing an elderly Asian man 'because he started the kung flu'.
