Some AFAB women can't give birth. Some of them have more androgynous bodies. Some of them are black. How on earth did being black make it on that list?! Wtf

  The way that black women experience sexism is often tangibly different than the way that white women experience sexism. Racial inequality can compound and complicate other inequalities. I think it's important in feminist circles to understand that the Black community can be affected by sexism in ways that white women might not experience. You can say the same about things like income. The sexism that a professional in an office job experiences can occasionally differ in subtle ways from the sexism that a blue-collar worker experiences. Not to say one is better or worse, just the way that inequality manifests is often contextually dependent.

  Because this entire ideology is deeply sexist and racist, and they consider black women to be less gender-conforming than white women.

    > to be less gender-conforming No, but I do understand that the way society treats Black women is often different than the way society treats white women, and I understand that being a white woman does not automatically give someone complete insight into the struggles that Black women face.
