I want to talk more about the toll it takes on Black women to go high, when they go low. Maintaining one's composure in the face of disrespect & bullshit takes so much out of you. I'm tired and it's only Wednesday

She absolutely does and that woman is raising her right! Everybody wants to say “stepmom” but she’s been raising Paige full time since she married her dad when Paige was a little girl. That’s her mama!

It hopefully includes a section on how mascs who are on the fence about being trans cling to relationships w/lesbians out of fear that the hetero women they truly desire won’t want them back. Queer relationships aren’t one sided. Especially not those undergoing gender transition

For all the folks who have made errors, it’s only been Black women and specifically Lizzo who set the blueprint and arguably had more at stake when she did it.
