I've seen trans women online who have some wild takes about fellow trans women of color. It's crazy, but it happens.

i'm now curious about what these wild takes they have about non-white trans women like me.

but i pray that i don't have to meet the kind of trans women you mentioned... and that they can eventually see the light and the error of their ways.

unbelievable that some people - despite being oppressed by the system - could be like this.

coincidentally, do these people also happen to be truscum/transmed? or even some "tucutes" are a part of this? because i feel like it'd make sense for truscum/transmed trans people to hold such reactionary views.

I think there is a lot of overlap with truscum and transmed views and racism. Hell there's plenty of transphobic trans women sadly. None of us are immune from internalizing society's worst features.

this makes sense, in a disgusting sort of way. cis-passing culture tends towards racism (among other problems), so I could definitely see that playing into some really weird takes.

I'm now very interested in seeing these wild takes, though, from a place of morbid curiosity...
