Concept: Institutional racism

Both course readings from this week describe forms of #institutional #discrimination. Although each article reports on distinct examples, both include historical and contemporary evidence of unjust treatment among black workers and midwives. Both researchers also filled important gaps in the literature in their fields.

Most of the previous studies surrounding midwifery failed to include the significant role of #racism in the systematic exclusion of midwives, particularly black granny midwives, which Alicia Bonaparte was sure to include in her research. This kind of representation and nuance was also lacking in studies of racism in the workplace prior to Adla Harvey Winfield’s research, which provided valuable insight regarding the distinctly #gendered racism that black men and women experience. Additionally, both readings include detailed historical accounts of each example of institutional discrimination in order to contextualize the issue today.

Institutional racism holds a great deal of power in its concealed nature. In the case of midwifery, the incremented changes in South Carolina’s Sanitary Codes during the first 40 years of the 20th century laid the foundation for the cultural and legislative delegitimization and regulation of midwives. In the case of gendered racism in the workplace, racist messaging and imagery through media and other agents of socialization fueled the discrimination participants of the study experienced, sometimes unbeknownst to perpetrators. In exposing these hidden aspects of racism these researchers engaged in #critical social justice work. This hidden aspect of discrimination is connected to #hegemony, a term which Peter McLaren defines in the attached photo of a PowerPoint slide from a course taught by Professors Hatkoff and Bermúdez at Claremont Graduate University (2020).

Thoughts on Feminism

I generally try to avoid talking about feminism, especially on Tumblr since it’s such a hot topic issue that often ends in death threats being thrown around. But after a recent discussion with my brother, a staunch feminist, I feel like it’s about time I throw in how and why I feel just so entirely conflicted about the whole thing. BTW, this is gonna be loooooooong.

To start with, I don’t consider myself a part of the feminist movement. I don’t think I ever will. But that won’t stop me from fighting for equal rights and above all in a country like Canada where we still sweep violence, especially domestic violence, under the rug, the safety of people. In my region (keeping in mind a region can cover multiple towns and usually one or two cities), there is only one women’s shelter. ONE. One of my friends has been through that shelter. Despite what little resources they had, they helped her get back on her feet. Near by, but not in the same region, is the city of Toronto where I lived for four years. There are a number of women’s shelters and quite a few men’s shelters. Many women’s shelters are actually taking in men due to the sheer need out of homelessness and domestic violence victims. Toronto is also a hub for refugees, recent arrivals, and runaways which overtaxes all of these shelters.

Unfortunately, the fight for more resources for these shelters, I find, is often only seen once a year in high heel walks, which are dedicated towards women who suffered violence. I’m still looking for ways beyond donations to help out these shelters. Unfortunately, as a socially anxious person who can’t drive, a number of helpful opportunities are closed off to me.

But enough of that. I simply thought it best to open with my “resume” activism, which, I’ll admit is rather sparse.

What I want to talk about is the approach on the flame war inducing topic, the claiming of the label “feminist”. I started my conversation with my brother stating that I could not and would not claim the label of “feminist” for myself. In fact, in my argument, I felt that any label detracted from the purpose of an equality movement since it became less about the movement and more about me, the individual. Which, fun fact, is the same belief of those now called “rastafarians”. Most don’t like the name, refuse to claim the name, and generally look at those who force it on them, thinking “Seriously?”

But then he brought up a point, albeit after quite the talk-down about me being wrong, wrong, wrongedy wrong by not accepting that damned label. The point being that even if I don’t follow the movement, I’m still a feminist. His argument was that I follow the school of the thought that is feminism and therefore, I’m a feminist. Which is a fair argument. Feminism, as a school of thought, is equality between genders. Thus, I would be a feminist, just like how I’m a socialist. My beliefs follow a certain school of thought thus that school of thought is a part of who I am.

I would accept this as the end. I would have said, “well in that case, I suppose I really am a feminist.”

But it irked me. It still irks me. He’s the ONLY person who has ever mentioned feminism as a school of thought. There is no convincing me that every other feminist also prescribes to that view. Every other feminist I have seen, met or heard of, have always only spoke of feminism as the activist movement. And that includes those in Women’s Studies in universities.

So I have this question: If it is a school of thought, why are there multiple waves? I’ve never heard of 1st, 2nd, or 3rd wave socialism. Any time there has been a change in a school of thought, the name itself changes to match that evolution, such as Marxism since it is rightfully recognized as a DIFFERENT school of thought.

My answer is that currently, whether he wants to accept it or not, feminism continues to exist solely as a movement. It is studied as a movement, treated as a movement, and acted upon as a movement.

And what hurt the most during that conversation was his ignorance of his so-called “minority extremist group” in feminism. His erasure of the people that have been bullied, sent death threats, doxxed, and outed by “radfems” was disgusting to me.

My own brother denied my experience as a trans person who always has to watch what he says lest he be outed to jobs by people like Cathy Brennan and other TERFs and called a pedophile, a monster, a freak, a traitor to my own sex, dyke, confused, mentally ill, and more.

That’s what hurt the most. Because it’s a minority, it doesn’t matter. It shouldn’t affect me. I should just ignore it.

So much for you supporting me. For remembering how scared I was that I might be killed on the streets, or forced into corrective rape. For thinking that I’m not still scared that I can be denied work if someone figured it out. For thinking my problems must be sliding away because I’m entering the world of male privilege. For not realizing that I still cover up my chest and tug at my shirt, wondering if someone will notice.

Thanks bro. You convinced me even more of just who I am and what I am not.

I’m not a feminist because too many feminists assume they know everything about my existence when I say that I’m trans.

“Poor you, it must be so hard.”

“Well, now that you have male privilege, it must be a lot easier to do stuff.”

“I won’t treat you any different except to remind you that you ‘obviously’ have it way easier now that you’re a guy and don’t forget to join us in pitying trans women because they have it the worst without bothering to actually learn about trans women or the community in general and actually respecting trans people as people and not the story or activist mention of the week.”

And especially when it’s mentioned I’m not a feminist:

“But we’re the ones helping you!” (BONUS: “You’re turning into a woman right?”)

“How dare you turn your back against women when you KNOW what it’s like.”

“Is that why you’re trans? You’re a boy because of internalized misogyny.”

To those people and my brother, I say:

FUCK. YOU.

Fuck you for not listening.

Fuck you for refusing to understand.

Fuck you for staying in your fucking echo cave.

Fuckyoufuckyoufuckyoufuckyoufuckyou.

And to the feminists that remain critical of their movement, actively calling out bad members and engaging in conversations with honor and respect for the other person--

THANK YOU

Wokeism Is A Distrust Of All Power And Authority

Scott Thorngate shares how Critical Social Justice puts its adherent on the throne of the world and it is you who gets to mete out justice. Guilt is not felt in tearing people or systems down as it is rooted in the concept of justice.
