hey as a TMOC I do think you made a mistake in how you're thinking about race as inseparable from gender. We have experiences at the intersection of transphobia, misogyny, and racism (and anything else we may be experiencing). For example, people of color often get support from our communities when dealing with racism, but being transgender can cause people to support you less, so you have to deal with racism more on your own. We also are seen as more aggressive in queer spaces or on the street more than people realize (both from looking queer and from being a POC). I support you in addressing transmisogyny and putting the issues of trans women first. I'd encourage you to read and learn about how many trans women and femmes of color think about and relate to gender as a next step.

thank you for pointing this out to me. i was writing quickly and i am definitely coming at this from a Limited perspective so i apologize for making it sound like i was trying to separate the issues — my point was less that being a person of color is a separate issue that is More the cause of violence than transness and more that Being a person of color increases the likelihood of receiving violence based in transphobia, and vice versa. but i understand how i could have worded it better on that point

i definitely need to do a lot more theory research and reading on these kinds of issues if i dont want to just. parrot other peoples talking points without my own thoughts and arguments behind it
