Being trans is giving me the POC experience that I never had growing up since I always lived in the most diverse and least racist cities (hexbear.net)

Since some people are misunderstanding, this is about how I never really felt marginalized as a POC thanks to lucky living situations but being trans is slapping me in the face with that experience now

People (cis/white) are only cool with you as long as they can view you as lesser and with pity

The moment cishet people find out I don't view myself as below them, have any shred of confidence, use the women's washroom with no shame, or that I only date women, their friendly facade slips
