> Everything I've seen points to a combination of attention-seeking and shoehorning their mediocre white suburban existences into the Oppression Pyramid, because that's the only way to signal that they're not Evil Colonizers. It's sad.
If you attend a pride event, even in mostly white areas, you'll quickly realize that the majority of people there are not white.
- u32480932048 3y agoIt's definitely not a majority-white event, but I've never been condescended to by a Black, Asian, or Hispanic gay man or lesbian woman - or even a trans person, for that matter. One or two acute mental health episodes aside, they're all pretty chill. I can't say the same for a certain class of white, know-it-all college kid who insists I must be a semihemidemiqueer or somesuch because I can both iron my own clothes (no man can do this) and change a tire (no woman has ever succeeded). I'm old enough to remember a time when women were allowed to enjoy beer and football and men were allowed to like wine and TV dramas, because fuck gender roles and stereotypes. Now, we hold the stereotypes constant and assume we must have a oh-so-special gender because I like wine and beer, hate TV dramas, tolerate baseball, and can change a tire and iron my own clothes. It's poorly-conceived bullshit, and no number of secret downvotes or unreproducible social science studies will convince me otherwise.
