During her recent appearance on jameelajamil's iweigh podcast, MunroeBergdorf reflected on what she thinks has made the current anti-racism movement different:

“I think during this time I’m seeing things happen that I never thought was ever going to happen, you know. I never thought white people would say ‘right, we’ve got work to do’ – we’ve been asking for that for decades, ever since the Black Panther party or the AIDS crisis. People have stood idly by and watched people die for too long, so I never thought that that was going to change – but it’s starting to.

“To see 15,000 people rally for black transgender women, that was amazing. And it came on a day when I really, really needed it because the British government had decided to leak information to the press about their intentions of winding back transgender rights and making it harder for trans people to self-identify or transition into the gender identity that we identify as, but also to reduce our access to women-only spaces.

She continued: “It’s transgender women being targeted, not transgender men – even though transgender men are affected – it’s just heavily misogynistic.

When corporate America, corporate media, Hollywood, local governments, litteraly Hitler Trump himself, etc, etc are all on your side, it's laughable to claim or believe you're fighting the system.
