[Quick Rant] Why does this happen every time I mention my intersections? (hexbear.net)

[CW: Discussion of Racism and Queerphobia]People tend to really make mockeries about "oppression points" whenever this happens, and it's really disturbing.

For example:

  • If I say I'm black, regardless of racism I get, this kind of mockery doesn't really happen.
  • If I say I'm queer, regardless of homo/transphobia I get, this kind of mockery doesn't really happen.
  • If I say I'm black and queer, chuds lose their mind and make jokes like "AND I'M A DEPRESSED AUTISTIC DRAGONKIN BIGENDER ATTACK HELICOPTER DEMIROMANTIC OMNISEXUAL INDIGENOUS PERSON ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚" while accusing me of being an "attention seeker" and/or "special snowflake."

I find it really frustrating when people do this because every time I mention my intersections, the context is totally relevant. I'd rather not focus on my "bottom of the hierarchy" traits unless I have to, and ironically enough, because of responses like this, I have to focus on it quite often because these kinds of comments are a clear symptom of society's bigotry.

Am I not black and queer? What's the alternative? Do you want my experience to not be heard? Am I just supposed to submit to the people bringing me down because of this intersection? Do you just not want me to exist?

These kinds of questions are scary.

It has happened to me multiple times on different occasions.

I find that most people who say this kind of shit are chuds who still think "attack helicopter" jokes are funny.
