Are Black trans women known for this kind of behaviour? Are there apologists for Black trans women who make every effort to miss the fucking point that there are people who think this isn’t a thing that happens?

Are Black trans women known for this kind of behaviour?

The question suggests that Black trans women are all alike. It’s exactly that kind of generalization that’s being criticized.

Nobody is saying all white men are like this, what they are saying that it is only white men who do this.

Being a white man who is aware of the stereotype, I in no way feel attacked by it. I do feel aware that I need to be careful not to interrupt my colleagues or to mansplain things that I may be less knowledgeable about. This response from me is beneficial to both myself and the people I interact with.

“Only white men do X” is absolutely racist and sexist. “Mansplain” is derogatory.

Nonody is “known” for that behaviour. You really just seem to ascribe personality traits to people based on their skin color. I thought we were long past that.

It is intentionally, intellectually dishonest and obtuse to pretend that condemnation of systemic problems resulting from unfair biases for/from certain demographics is as bad as the systemic problems in question.

Oh, don’t blame people. Don’t bring irrelevant details if you don’t want to distract them from the fucking point.
