A lot gay/lesbians straight up dislike/distrust bisexuals. Not to mention when it comes to trans people.
Being a member of a minority not a magic wand that erases all problematic views. Or inoculates from furthering systems of oppression.
As an intersectional person, this belief is always on my mind whereas it seems like many leftists won't even think about it for half a second.
The neglect of the clear reality that being an oppressor and being oppressed are not mutually exclusive ends up being the reason why many POC feel out-of-place in majority white marginalized spaces like feminist and LGBTQ+ ones.
I've known very oppressive women, POC, LGBTQ+ people, and disabled people. Of course, all of our struggles against oppressive systems like patriarchy, white supremacy, cisheteronormativity, and ableism are of critical importance, but we can still acknowledge that basically giving marginalized people a pass to oppress other marginalized people, even if inadvertently, is just total lib shit.
Not related to this thread at all, but you should write a book or something. I like your thoughts.
