PSA for my fellow whites, caps
you will probably carelessly do/say racist things
anyone is allowed to point it out to you when this happens
if someone takes time to talk to you about it, they're doing that for YOUR benefit, so listen
discuss your motivations and thought processes but DON'T ARGUE when they point out where you made your mistakes
apologise, own it, sit with it, learn from it
we were brought up to be racist, we must train ourselves not to be - we only get so many free lessons

#intro #Introduction hello, I'm not entirely what to put here. I'm a trans, queer leftist here for information and socialisation. probably mostly just gonna boost stuff tbh but whatever. have ADHD, probably autistic. feel free to DM me, especially if you want to infodump about a special interest or hyperfixation. I'm sure there's a lot more, but that's off the top of my head.

Women are not inherently gentle nurturers. Black people are not a race of brave freedom fighters. Indigenous peoples are not all (shudder) noble nature warriors. Jewish people are not meek, helpless sufferers. Screw your "positive" stereotypes, dehumanization with sparkles and smiley faces is still dehumanization, a promise to revoke our human rights the moment we fail to live up to impossible standards.
reduce your ableist language (contains examples of same)
There’s a *lot* of ableist language in common parlance. These words and similar ones exist as slurs towards neurodivergent folks in particular. Try pushing yourself to replace/eliminate them.
crazy, insane, mental ➡️ wild, surprising, hectic
dumb, stupid ➡️ foolish, silly
idiot, moron, dumbass ➡️ bigot, asshole, fool
In addition, you are encouraged to think through what you’re trying to say better, and address what the real issue worth criticising is. And if you can’t rephrase it, maybe it didn’t need to be said at all.
